[CW] Suggestions for demonstrating CW

Mon, 10 Nov 2003 02:41:10 -0500

Bring along an older or younger ham - it always looks better when there is a
difference in age - and have you (or the other ham) do a narration of what
the other is doing.

Or make a video recording and provide a transcription.  This is what was
done in one video "QRT 500 - the closedown of Wireless Telegraphy in the
United Kingdom" - the director provided a transcript of the morse that was
the main "voice" in the video.  There were of course, other voices, but they
spoke English that "anyone" could understand, while the "beeps" only spoke
English to those who could understand the bleeping morse.
