Kimball Williams of ARRL
Topic:
"Why is Morse Code Still Alive?"
The talk: "Why is Morse Code Still Alive" digs into biology, ancient history, the
technological evolution of electrical communication, practical aspects of the human
ear and brain, and how the legal systems attempts to 'control' the early experimenters
with Spark Gap radios resulted in major technological breakthroughs that continue today.
Join us for a romp through technology and history to see why a 200 year old system
of communication is still so widely used today.
