Morse Code Straight Key J-38

Image by Whiskeygonebad
This J-38, manufactured by LIONEL TRAIN Co during the common factory "repurposing" of WW2. It was in very, very sorry looking condition before restoration but all the parts were there, most importantly. Restored using dental lab equipment at work. Iron & Brass ultrasonically cleaned and high polished. Iron pits rubber-wheeled first. Metal Center Hub sand blasted and painted semi-gloss black. All metal/brass varnished with q-tip applicator. Bakelite was water and compound ragwheel polished on denture polishing machine Under key: Two-decade-old 13th editon of the Radio Amateur’s World Atlas. WW2 pilots used an upper leg clip on version to send morse code while flying. And you have trouble driving with your cell phone.

Tactile Morse Code

Tactile Morse Code (T-Morse) is formed by repositioning the dots and reorienting the dashes of the Morse code. The reconfigured letters of T-Morse have a tight, compact aspect that can be read like Braille.

T-Morse is a dynamic new approach to blind readership. Significant innovation in coding for letters, numbers, punctuation and symbols form the basis of this simple, easy-to-learn code that may offer a compelling alternative to Braille.

(NO-RAD-ZONE) Joseph Reiss VP Marketing American Science and Engineering describes the newest technology. Backscatter technology can be applied anywhere and is being sold to the government as well as to the public. There is no regulation and no way of regulating how long they scan individuals. Radiation is dangerous. Radiation causes cancer. This can be a weapon and is definitely a violation of civil rights. It has no medical use and is too dangerous. Backscatter vans can pull up outside any home or building and monitor what is going on inside. They may witness anything they like for hours if not longer. Individuals are submitted radiation without any knowledge. If a family unit is present children are subjected as well, unbeknownst to anyone. No amount of radiation is safe. Children and the elderly are more susceptible to DNA damage from radiation. If you had the money you could fry someone without them knowing it. 1/2 hour of backscatter/x-ray surveillance would cause cancer. AS & E specs show ratings for a 5 rem flash saying it’s relatively harmless. There is no information or specs on surveillance type radiation readings. Unpaid scientists disagree with the use of such products.

Just RXing to GB3VT VHF Repeater, The following is took from “QRZ.COM” GB3VT, RV58, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire. GB3VT is a 2 metre repeater located at 273 metres, 887 feet above sea level, QRA Locator IO83WA, in the City of Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, United Kingdom. The GB3VT repeater first became operational from its original site in December 1980 and has now been operational from its present site since 1995 and is co-sited with two other repeaters: GB3ST on 70cm and GB3SE on 23cm. GB3VT transmits on 145.725 MHz and receives on 145.125 MHz. Both the receiver and transmitter use full decode and encode Continuous Tone Carrier Squelch System at a frequency of 103.5 Hz. The Transmitter, Receiver and Repeater Control Logic are all-purpose designed and homebuilt, the timeout is currently set at 3 Minutes. The repeater also makes use of a home built 8 Cavity Duplexer, and the repeater delivers a total of 25 watts effective radiated power from a single colinear type of aerial. To fully access the repeater it has always been a requirement of the station wishing to access, to transmit 3 to 4 seconds of good audio of at least plus and minus 1 kHz deviation. Stations using less than the required minimum deviation will fail to access. In line with the now adopted United Kingdom 2 metre 12.5 kHz channel spacing, the repeater receiver has 12.5 kHz Intermediate Frequency Crystal Filters fitted and the transmitter peak deviation has also been reduced accordingly.

I’m a Skywarn spotter, Retired Firefighter, and radio nut, I programmed these VHF converted Fire Department & 160mhz pagers to do weather alerting. Unlike the SAME, but similar. You will get ALL Alerts that the NWS/NOAA puts out. They are all Computer programmed & can accept 2 Freqs opposed to others which only do 1, without monitor. I add monitoring in so the squelch does not need pressed to hear the alert like the old ones. I do the Free minitor programming, low cost alert systems, and alike. Certain things should simply be free. I’ve been screwed by radio shops before, which is why I do this cheaply it’s not right people profit from simple things like programming pagers.

Scanners can be fun.

"What does a scanner see? Into the head? Down into the heart? Does it see into me, into us? Clearly or darkly? I hope it sees clearly, because I can’t any longer see into myself. I see only murk. I hope for everyone’s sake the scanners do better. Because if the scanner sees only darkly, the way I do, then I’m cursed and cursed again. I’ll only wind up dead this way, knowing very little, and getting that little fragment wrong too. "
– Fred, A Scanner Darkly

Playing around with the Yaesu FT-980 I have been working to restore. These are great rigs from the days when every function had its own knob or button, and there were real meters instead of LCD screens. This radio has a very low noise floor and sensitive receiver, which rivals any other rig I have owned. Hopefully it holds up as parts are getting near impossible to locate anymore.
