[Elecraft] Farnsworth Method

[WILLIS COOKE]

The ARRL has been using the Farnsworth Method for at
least 40 years and probably has been using it longer
than that.  The US Army used the Farnsworth Method
during WWII.  I have not been able to find out who old
Farnsworth was, but my guess is he was an operator
about 1910 when the Bug got popular and he needed to
train someone and wanted to use his bug.  But that is
just a guess.  I have been a ham since 1956, but I
don't remember getting interested in the Farnsworth
Method until about 1975 when I was studying for my
Extra and teaching code classes.  It was the generally
accepted method in 1975 and I as far as I can find out
still has very few that differ in opinion.
