Re: [Repeater-Builder] Morse Code Contest on JAY LENO

2005-05-14 Thread mch
I posted the text last night (I just saved a bunch of money on my car
insurance). I think there was an 'extra dit' after the y in the word
'my', but otherwise it was correct. The audience QRM was pretty bad
during that section, and likely interfered with the sender's hearing of
what he was sending, too. Try sending code without being able to hear
the sidetone. It's a bear.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Morse Code Contest on JAY LENO

2005-05-14 Thread Micheal Salem







I am not sure about this and I am at the office and do not have the 
formula for wpm (but I think it is continuous dots anyway), but the 
text messager (Ben Cook) said that he could send 160 characters 
in 57 seconds ("very quick"). That would be over 30 wpm at 5 
characters per word. (Roughly 160/5 x 60/57 = 33.68 wpm)

The phrase that was sent was about 39 characters (I didn't count a
period 
at the end, but I thought I heard one). That would be about 8 words
(eight 
words if you count the period). But, according to the time line of
the 
video it took 20 seconds (actually less because they had to turn over
the 
card and look before starting to send. That took maybe 3 seconds, so
the 
time was maybe 17 seconds?

That makes their speed about 28.24 wpm (60/17 x 8). Of course, 
this is a case where split seconds could make words of difference 
since my only resolution was 1 second on the clock. 

But it seemed a lot faster to me. I would expect that they would not 
have done less than 35 wpm to be sure they had a margin of victory. 

It was a great performance though.

 Tomorrow, Friday May 13th, the Tonight Show with Jay
 Leno will feature
 a message sending/receiving contest between a cell
 phone text
 messaging team and a Morse code team.
 
 The Morse code team will consist of Chip Margelli
 K7JA and Ken Miller
 K6CTW.
 
 Chip and Ken do a lot of contests and DXpeditions. 
 Joe Drago, props
 manager for the show is KF6OCP.
 
 This should result in some excellent PR for ham
 radio.
