Commercial CW station KSM in Northern California is currently (2041 Z)
running a "code wheel" on 6474kc/s and 12993kc/s. 

(1 kc/s = 1 kHz)

K2's will tune 6474 kHz and I believe the KX1 will cover the 12993 kHz
frequency. KSM is pounding into N.W. Oregon on 6474 at this time. 

The code wheel sends this message repeatedly:

CQ CQ CQ DE KSM KSM KSM QSX 6/12 CH3 OBS? AMVER? QRU? K

CQ CQ CQ DE KSM KSM KSM QSX 6/12 CH3 OBS? AMVER? QRU? K 

KSM WILL FORWARD MESSAGES TO EMAIL ADDRESSES FREE OF CHARGE K

Originally they really were motor driven cog wheels with notches that
tripped the keying contacts. Many of the newer systems use motor driven
punched paper tapes.
