Still the only code understood by both man and machine! Fester's trusty old J-38 is within arms reach.

my dad was a navy man, a telegrapher stationed in a _real_ radio shack in the aleutians during ww2. I still remember him patiently teaching me how to send the word "sheesh" using a speed key. god, i miss him some days. heartfelt thanks to the red-slipped one for the sweet memory-jogger.

A "Tribute to Morse Telegraphy." You'll find navigation on the side menu or in the middle of the page. The side menu is a more complete navigation area than the middle of the page. Main Page - This link will always bring you back to the front page of the site. There are several sections devoted to information for collectors. They are: References, Topics for Collectors, Histories of the Key Makers and Topics for Advanced Collectors. There are also several sections devoted to the history of the telegraph. Telegraph and Wireless Inventors - Here you can learn all about the people behind the invention from Morse's patent in 1849 to the experiments of J.C. Bose. You can find an interesting section here called Heroes of the Telegraph where you can check out biographies of telegraphers. History of the Code - Here you can learn not only about the codes, but how they were sent. You can also check out telegrams and radiograms and how they were coded. You can also find a vast array of information on the keys of the telegraph machines. Those are photo galleries. Check out the section on the teenagers who worked in telegraph offices during WWII. Very interesting!
