HAM Radio

[Leif Ohlsson]

Bernoullis, your father was an advanced operator, handling one of those new-fangled thumb and finger keys. I was old school, regular key. Key (sic) to success was a soft wrist and straight elbow. A bit like piano playing, I imagine. - L.

... your father was an advanced operator ...

Yes, he did seem to be an extremely fast morse operator, both sending and receiving. When he did his national service with the army they put him in a signals unit because he was right up there with the best of the fulltime army signallers. And at home he just did radio operating as a hobby!

I'll have to find that Vibroplex key - must be hidden in a trunk or box somewhere. Would make a great a paperweight!
