I thought you might be interested to know that the QSY Society is holding a celebration of Samuel F. B. Morse's birthday at his home in Poughkeepie, NY. It's a great way to celebrate Morse and his wonderful code that we love.

Here are the details in case you want to participate, either in person or on the air:

Morse Day Saturday April 23

Time: 10 am to 2 pm
Place: Locust Grove, 2683 South Rd (Rt 9), Poughkeepsie, NY


Please join QSY Society at Locust Grove, home of Samuel FB Morse, to celebrate his 231st birthday (April 27).
 
Lets continue the tradition of a still viable 182 year mode of communication technology.

We will be operating all Morse Code (CW) on the HF bands in front of his house in Poughkeepsie on Route 9.

Bring your favorite key (or use ours), radio, and make some contacts with us.

In previous years we've contacted Morse enthusiasts as far as the West Coast and Europe.

The event is free and open to the public and all licensed radio amateurs.
