[CW] Watch "Kubla Khan - Take 2" on YouTube

[Bruce Prior]

The lack of the exclamation mark in International Morse Code is a big hole that needs to be filled. I wrote about it in Morsum Magnificat years ago.

When Morse decoders came out, I used one to detect the deficiencies in my Vibroplex semiautomatic key sending. I could now be sure I was actually sending NN MA instead of CQ. So I watched the screen while I sent, it really helped me. I'm probably going to embarrass myself but have to automation read this:  https://youtu.be/r8JXr3I2ycQ Turn on English captions as I added them a few days ago.


To turn on the CAPTIONS use the menu in the upper right (click and three vertical dots will appear which you also need to click to get to the menu.) When you see the drop down box, you must select English-United States. Usually the captions will NOT start, so do this: Click the video time bar at the middle, all of a sudden the captions start. Now click back to the beginning and start the video from the beginning. You will now see: KUBLA KHAN BY SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE OR A VISION IN A DREAM. A FRAGMENT. = IN XANADU DID KUBLA KHAN A STATELY PLEASURE-DOME DECREE (&c) complete with punctuation sent in Morse. Since there is no exclamation point in International Morse currently, where a ! is used in poem, I substituted "EXCLAIM" for that symbol as ITU Handbook for Sending and Reception on Morse by aural (ear) means (sounder or tone) (Appendix B,) Enjoy!
