Really good Morse, good rhythm, spacing and "flow". Never did use a bug, only a Kenpro squeeze key.Used KPH many times over my career as Radio Officer. They always provided good service and were among the best CRS's to work. (Personal favourites were GKA [I'm British] OXB, VIS, ZSC, ZLB,WLO, plus all the USCG stations, PCH, DAN......so many good operators around the world... The loss of Morse at sea was a terrible shame, even though technology had moved on. (After our Sat A broke down, I passed all traffic Gulf to Singapore via 9VG on HF vs, luckily the cw service was still operational.) Best QSO?? Possibly raising ZLB/Awarua very first call from 100 miles Southwest of Landsend/GLD, early afternoon my time, on 22Mhz 5x5. Happy Days !! 73's to all ex Radio Officers, especially ex-Glasgow College ones and ex-P & O Cargo Division ones..GZXZ ??? Neil

Must have worked her a few times as I did a fair amout of North Pacific trading working KPH. Always good stations in the USA, always nice to work. I've listened to a few poignant closing down messages from coast stations around the world which I'm happy to say were preserved on video and always brings a bit of a lump to my throat.

While sailing across the pacific a couple of times in the 70's, I worked KPH and KFS. I even got to visit KFS while we were in San Francisco for a week. I bought myself a Vibroplex but must admit I prefered the electronic keyers. I had a Heathkit HD-1410. Used it for 10 years. Great days. Sad to see they've gone.

T5radioop. What are you talking about. CW is like a voice. It takes on the personallity of it's sender and she has her style. So, no, it's not bad. I think till you have had to sit a highspeed AMVER/OBS position or sit a 500khz position, in the middle of the pacific you learn to copy just about anything. Yes, there are some LID's out there but this lady is not one of them. Worked at NMO/Commsta Honolulu for 3 years and trust me, I would rather copy her anyday. Retired Coast Guard Radioman sends.
@ve3dvy13 жыл бұрын
Fist is the quality and character of the sending. she has a smooth rhythm and sound and it is easy to read. making it a good fist. some senders are harder to read and would qualify as a poor fist. many opererators in what ever use of morse code weather railway or radio can tell the operator by their fist. much like one can identify someones voice. what I find interesting is the way her hand moves, almost a dance

Someone please work out the maths for this... the eyes see, the brain converts the image to a signal, that signal travels from the brain down to the hand, the hand works the key and having done what it was told to do, sends a completed signal back to the brain. How long does that take, please?

obviously you have never learned to walk, you started with a computerkey. as we dont speak monotonous as robots, so the use of keys doesnt need to be monotonous and robotic. If youre unable to decypher different styles, then the lack of skill is on your side. Only in military "perfect" sending is required in order not to be identified by enemy spies. This is merchant navy though. Those things dont matter. And her signals are very well readable.
@zoolkhan12 жыл бұрын
you ego is too big for youtube. This video is not about you, and how much greater and more professional you are. For 100 years people have used straight keys and bugs and every operator had a different style. if youre a pro you know that, and you learned to live with that. ...bragging around (its called "trolling" in the language of internet generation in the knowitallstyle, belittling DA and others like her is a poor show and backfires quite a bit.
