[CW] CW Duty Cycle Question

Tue, 16 Mar 2004 23:28:36 -0400

Hello there:

Here we go again!  I imagine this will unleash another endless string of
purposeless banter that adds nothing of any significance to our day to day
CW operation, and imagined we would want to stop this nonsense at its
inception.  Anyway, I guess you're Mike, although the e-mail comes from
"Barbara".  Be that as it may, a threshold question I have, among others is:
what's "normal transmit keying"?

P.D. Morse Code is forever...

> Gentlemen,
> Here is something I have been wondering.   If continuous key down is 100
and key up is 0, where does normal transmit keying fall?   Is there a
relationship between keying speed and percent duty cycle?   Has anyone
reading this actually attempted to measure CW transmit duty cycle, and if
so, by what means?   I have a simple  idea for doing this that I have never
heard mentioned, but I would be interested in your opinion.
