[SOC] TV CW

[Fred Jensen]

"It reminds me of old movies when the guy is sending code on a straight 
key and he is bobing up and down with his index finger over the sending 
knob..? Nice code.!...Hi Hi.? 73 Rich K8UV"

Walter Winchell [the Rush Limbaugh of his day] had two Vibroplexes that 
he used to punctuate between his stories.  I remember hearing him as a 
kid, and after I learned the code at 13, I realized his CW was bogus and 
for audio effect only.  Prior to that, I thought he was actually sending 
code to a ship.

You can hear some of his programs [and the Morse] at:
