Kids and Morse Code

About three years ago my youngest daughter Tara took an interest in Morse Code.  I think she just liked the sound it made, but the way she sat there so intent when she was pretending to send was cute, so I took a video and posted it to YouTube.  It got picked up by a few amateur radio blogs, worked its way around the world, and as of today has just under 10,000 views.  In fact, it's my most watched video.  Not exactly the Dramatic Chipmunk, but still...  I had no idea it would be so popular.

JT65 Articles from CQ Magazine

Last year (October and November 2010) I co-authored with Tomas NW7US a two-part article "Communicating Under the Noise" about JT65A on HF which was published in CQ Magazine.  Thanks to Rich Moseson for agreeing to make the articles available in digital form.  PDF copies of the articles can be obtained here: Download (PDF)

Enjoy.
