The Development of the Morse Key ' by Dennis Goacher, G3LLZ

10/03/2015 • General

Our speaker this week at Pine Trees needs no introduction, being our very own Dennis, G3LLZ.

Dennis will be speaking to us about the history and development of the Morse key, one of the many subjects Dennis is well versed in speaking about.

Despite no longer being a requirement to pass a Morse test, apart from the ‘Morse Appreciation’ in the Foundation exam, Morse or CW still has a healthy following among Radio Amateurs. The Morse keys themselves can be highly collectable and their history right from the early beginnings of Telegraphy is a fascinating one.

Dennis will doubtless give an excellent talk on them, so please join us from 7pm on Thursday 12th March to see his presentation.
