30/30 Winchester: Not accurate enough fer varmints, barely adequate for small deer; BUT In a 10" to 14" barrelled pistol; is good for moose/elk to 200 yards; ground squirrels to 300 metres
250 Savage... its what the 223 wishes it could be...!

I haven’t messed with Morse since high school. It’s a darned good thing that once you get your ticket you aren’t required to retest.
Something like this would be great as I could take my time reading it. The code is still there but it’s buried under so much stuff it takes a while to bring it back to the surface.
Then again no one really uses it anymore.

Thanks, i don`t recon i`ll ever use it just had to make one to see it work.
As you know the key wouldn`t be on this line it would be on the in coming line only.

There`s something wrong with the wiring, the operator wouldn`t be there to turn on the motor that runs the paper when the message came in.
If i wire the paper motor to the solenoid it would stop between letters so that wouldn`t work, wonder how one would wire that ?

Figured it out, dang operator couldn`t run over and turn the paper on when a message came in, wired it to the solenoid and there`s enough delay in the pen lifting and lowering to make the spaces between the letters.
Works good and when i get the new key installed it will be a dandy.

That's awesome Lenn! Great job.
Now you need one of those green visors and little spectacles. That's the guy in the telegraph office in every western made.

Pretty nifty. I don't know the Morse alphabet, but it could come in handy.

Got the new key on today so it`s done, have a neat one coming that is said to have come out of the RR station in Big Springs TX.
It even has a battery eliminator on it.
Also have a sounder and key coming.

Thanks Grizz, don`t know what good they are i just like setting up displays of old stuff.
This is a replica resonator box we made for the key and sounder that`s coming in a few days, they would wedge a tobacco can behind the sounder so it would make a different sound so the rr guy could tell which sounder was getting a message.

Pitchy....the Morse Telegraph Club is just a couple of miles from the gunclub I belong to......as the crow flies, maybe 25 miles from here. The Strasberg Railroad museum is really cool with operating steam locomotives you can take a ride on. -----6

during wwII signal corpsmen could type incoming coded messages, which looked like a random hash, and read a book at the same time!! think about it!! this went to the guy who decrypted traffic...
I know nothing about Morse code Grizz and doubt i`ll try and learn, just the history of the machines i`m after.
I have one more sounder coming so ran out and made a box for it.
