KICKER: MORSE CODE IN A NEW DIMENSION
DON/ANCHOR: For this week's final story, we look at a bit of modern
innovation. It's always nice when amateur radio can enter a new dimension.
As we close out this week's report, we look at a Morse Code Key that is
definitely in that category, because it gets all three of its dimensions
from a 3-D printer. Although that's where the key originates, its real
roots are in the imagination of the 14-year-old son of the Texas radio
amateur, Joe Delgado, KC5ILR, who developed the key to make his son happy.
Joe says on his website that his son wanted something "cool" and
"colorful" for Morse Code, and the 3-D printing of the key made him
happy -- plus it sends code! Now if someone can find a way to print a
3-D noise filter to clean up the bands, we've got it made.
