Check out page 150 and you’ll see a full page devoted to the Torsion Bar single lever key made by yours truly!

Trace the evolution of automatic Morse code devices from the early 1800s to today through this informative text and over 1,100 photos. Beginning with an overview of telegraphy and early key history, fifteen sections explore the equipment used to send messages over long distances. Featured are code readers, oscillators, Morse trainers, electronic keyers, single- and dual-lever paddles, portable paddles, automatic mechanical keys, accessories, and more. Each device is presented in text and images, some with classic advertisements; this combination allows the reader to appreciate device development and better understand the thinking that went into the design. Paddle and key maintenance and adjustment are also examined, as well as computer interfacing and use of the Internet. The book also includes the results of patent studies and historical research, with many new findings presented, making it a must-have for collectors, ham operators, or anyone interested in the history of these communication devices.

Ed Goss has been a licensed amateur radio operator (N3CW) for almost 50 years. He operates almost exclusively using Morse code, and collects unique telegraphy devices. Ed is a retired engineer and lives in Palm Coast, Florida.

IF you’re into CW like I am you’re going to love this. It’s Morsum Magnificat…the amazing compendium of all things Morse from 83 to 2004. There are no words for this incredible magazine. Every issue is here in PDF form.

runs the New England  Wireless and Steam Museum

Looks like it would make a great nut cracker…

From a morsecode mail list post:

WOW….didn’t even know this place existed (in RI), but it’s a treasure trove of info you just have to see. There’s a nice PDF “tour” that you can read as you view the various rooms in the museum.

A great read about the early days of radio and the YL’s that made it just that much more interesting.

The Field Radio group will be holding its inaugural International Field Radio Event in late May, 2016. Please note this is an activity and not a contest! Here is your opportunity to interact with fellow group members on air, so please support us in this fun activity.

Kids all over the world are taking part in contacts from the space station and Astronaut/Hams are making it happen. Here’s a video about the program.
