Administrators K3MRI Posted December 12, 2019 ELMER Administrators Share Posted December 12, 2019 Thanks to @K4BIK for pointing me here. This is a really interesting audio piece relating the story of how international morse code competitions became popular during the Cold War. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w3csym79 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NS7X Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 How cool is this?! I remember in those days (prior to the fall of the Soviet Union), all QSL cards for any ham in any of the Soviet block countries were addressed "Box 88, Moscow." It's amazing to learn they held Olympic grade high speed telegraphy competitions as a sport! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators K3MRI Posted April 8 ELMER Author Administrators Share Posted April 8 I was raised by a crazy ham who used to have Morse Mondays. On Mondays, all dinner conversations were in Morse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
