HRWB 258 - Morse Code Bug Emulator with Don WB9CYY and Bob WO6W

from Ham Radio Workbench Podcast · host Ham Radio Workbench Podcast

In this episode we meet Don WB9CYY and Bob WO6W.  Both avid CW operators with a love of the old style mechanical "bug" radio telegraph keys.  Feeling that the existing CW paddles and keyers sent code that was too highly accurate and lacked any sort of personality, they came up with a very novel way make a modern paddle sound like a bug.  As an introduction we talk about the differnet paddle and key types and then take a deep dive into the development of the bug emulator.
