[CW] Morse Code Haptic (Vibration) Device for Hearing Disability

[D.J.J. Ring, Jr.]

Yes, Steve, I remember that also, it was in "QST" about 1966 or so,
great idea, I tried it and it worked.  The Haptig device from Long
Island CW Club - made by Bob WO6W works even better because it has a
tuneable "front end". I find the flashing LEDs help greatly at very
high speeds. I would have thought they'd become a blurr, but they do
help.  Between the vibrations and the LEDs, I copy quite well.
