Keeping It Alive | A Morse Code Documentary

Ham radio is still keeping morse alive 73s

I'm currently learning Morse simply for the joy of it.

CW is my primary mode of communication in ham radio. It lives on!

I was a code operator on kodiak Island in 1969 with the US navy. Before that I was and still am a ham radio op since 1960. Still pound the key from time to time. Great memories.

Gents, rest in the knowledge that Morse Code is alive and well! Thank you for your service.

Morse Works Here For me I am an A 82 year old radio ham in Scotland Excellent Video,,, thank you all so much

Morse did NOT fade out in 1962! Landline did but maritime radio officers were made redundant in 2000 (I was one of the last groups of ships RO’s / sparks trained) …. Hams (amateur radio operators) continue the legacy … MORSE WILL NEVER DIE!!!

Born in 76, raised in France, living in the UK. Passed my Intermediate licence in 2021. Learning CW. We are its future.

I was in the ASA through the 60's and 70's. Mostly in Vietnam. Intercepting enemy communication. It was at times a little bit dangerous and other boring. It was the best years of my life.

Only 687 views? - this video deserves far more, both for the content and for the production (which is excellent). The days of professional Morse Code over landline telegraph may be long gone but Morse Code is alive and well over amateur HF radio, and over the internet (CWcom, iCW, MoiP) which is a form of landline! Modern Morse Code builds on the legacy of early electronic communications as practised so admirably by these guys.

Morse is becoming MORE popular in Ham Radio, not less. As long as there are radio nerds, there will be Morse.

Great Video thanks, I have taught myself Morse Code over the last few years, I find it fascinating. There are a lot of people in the Ham radio community taking it up. I think it will be used for many years to come.

I've been using it on the air for 40 years. There is no other mode like it. What they did was the true classic art, but ham radio is how telegraphy will stay alive. I just made a contact with French St. Martin about 30 minutes ago, i plan to make more tonight. I understand how these men feel to a degree. I look forward to getting home and to my operating position every day. I am going to start training a young friend of mine in the code later this month, he is excited to get rolling! They are the next generation of operators and I want to make sure I get it right. I have immense respect for these OT's. Tip of the visor to them...dit dit.

Awesome program, happy to say that MORSE is making a comeback on ham radio. God bless

Morse is alive and well on the HAM bands.

Nostalgic video. I was a military telegraphist more than 50 years ago. Nice memories.

Absolutely beautiful documentary! Being a former U.S. Army teletype operator and ham radio operator, this video is much appreciated! Thanks.

Get into HAM radio. It's not exactly the same, but at least we regularly use Morse Code, CW.

May not be overland per se, but certainly Morse Code continues to be sent as Continuous Wave worldwide on the Amateur Radio bands. Thanks for making this documentary for the overland Morse transmission in Australia!

Thank you for your service. Morse lives on gentlemen in amateur radio. Morse is my primary mode of operation, its alive, growing and doing well. Best 73 .. DE ZS6AKW
