[CW] FCC TESTING

[David J Ring Jr]

I have heard the story about the "evil" FCC man who reverberated the 
morse off of warehouse type of walls being "like radio" but that isn't a fair 
test.  Very Very few of the commercial operators could copy a 
reverberated CW signal like that.  That only happens when having Long 
Path and Short Path (or some type of multipath) and it TERRIBLE to 
copy.

It goes for C

DAH DIT DAH DIT dit

With the last dit being the echo of the DIT just preceeding it.

E's would sound like I's, N's like D's.

Absolutely TERRIBLE.

Plus any decent FCC test had HEADPHONES!!!

GIVE ME THE OLD DAYS OF AMECO CODE PRACTICE 
OSCILLATOR TUNED TO 500 CYCLES AUDIO AND HEADPHONES!!!
