[CW] Re: [KochMorse] Diminishing returns when learning morse

[David J. Ring, Jr.]

Now, Joe,  Wouldn't some of you ex- Air to Ground operators like to recreate 
some communications recordings for me?

I have recordings of the New York Times PX room in DC, recordings of the 
"Queen Mary", ship-to-shore recordings, but ABSOLUTELY no recordings of an 
aircraft, nor of a any ground to air communications involving CW.  I've even 
got a recording of SUH from Egypt sending on a bug.

Sure would be nice to have even if it was a recreation of what used to be.

The problem is that the recordings probably would need several people to do 
it becuase of the different fists requirement.  But I would guess that a 
talented AF CW man could send poorly or imitate one of those Pakistani 
radiotelegraphists.

Pakistani operators always had a very distinctive and extremely difficult to 
copy fist.
