I was a Army Morse Code operator, he is saying to send with rhythm but he doesn't mean foot stomping musical rhythm like in best bent. everyone is supposed to send the same way, So the enemy would not be able to tell one operator from the other. That's all, Enjoy.
Saul Broudy I really don't remember were it came from but my Radio Chief taught it to me. Its bens best bent wire, shave and a haircut 2 bits. there was a ham that would look for contacts and if no one answered his call, he would start tapping this stuff out. I should have copied it but didn't. go on the internet and search for it. Enjoy.
+eogg25 Thanks for your reply re "best bent". Yes, it was W9ZN from whom I first heard it! As a folklorist and a CW op, I would like to know more...Bill says it was common among Army Signal Corps ops.
So difficult! Maybe it'll come in handy one day? I hope I won't have to use it for anything. SOS is pretty important and a basic one we should all know and I could use a flashlight or knocking. How would one write that? First the dits and then two dahs and then another set of dits? I wouldn't be good at this at all... haha.
+bunnyboo786 SOS isn't as useful as it used to be. These days it's illegal to use SOS aboard a ship. Morse code isn't used like it used to be. Where you find it most used is Amateur radio. These days there is no longer a code requirement to get an amateur radio license. Since it wasn't required I never bothered to learn it. The only thing I can key and identify reliably is CQ. However I can only do that reliably with a paddle and keyer. I don't have a straight key; so I don't have the means to properly practice.
hi madam, if the handy-net will grow down....people will come to us - radioamateurs - we will practise the emergency-communication.... have a nice time !
"It's what experienced operators mean ... when they say another operator has a good fist" "How does one acquire a fist that good?" Times, and meanings, have changed slightly :-/
Why are messages ended with sending 'V's? I believe the Staff Sergeant was sending a series of 'V's at the end. I've heard that elsewhere, but can't find any verification. Thanks
***** - Staff Sergeant (Grade 3) - Owens is at the key and Master Sergeant (Grade 1) - Young is the narrator. This was done in 1966 probably at Fort Huachuca, Arizona. They just shuttered Morse Code training 27-April-2015. The course will be taught by the Air Force on Goodfellow Air Force Base, Texas. They are probably hams but I don't know their first names.
Good observation -- it could've been explained better but they are doing the correct thing. That's because SOS isn't a word, it's a procedural sign a.k.a. prosign, a single Morse symbol. See "Morse prosigns" on Wikipedia/etc. for more info. Because of the exact ambiguity they warn of, it's possible to name one prosign multiple ways, for example Wikipedia claims SK is called VA by some people. This is fine in practice since you're not sending the word "SK," you're sending the symbol "I'm done with this contact." A loose analogy if you're a computer nerd is how ASCII code 10 is called "LF" only you don't print "LF" when it's received, you print a linefeed. :)
So, if I can send good code, I'll get a date with a hot babe? Where was this film when I was in high school?!? I would have become a ham a whole heck of a lot sooner. :-P
GD I just learned more from this old military film than from all modern instruction!
Music to my ears.
This fellow defines 'deadpan delivery' all right.
This video is from a long time ago. But very interesting and useful

Please tell me more about the history and context of the "best bent". I have heard a fellow ham I talked to use it as a warmup exercise. Thanks.

Saul Broudy On TH-cam look for W(ZN Bill Crane this is the guy I had a cw qso with, his whole routine is on youtube

When they described the sound of romeo it cracked me up. XD
13:50 - 14:50 ROFLMFAO! This is priceless! :D
Thanks for the awesome video

What do they use now instead if there's an emergency?

"It's what experienced operators mean ... when they say another operator has a good fist"
"How does one acquire a fist that good?"
Times, and meanings, have changed slightly :-/
there is a time between dits and dahs that means the difference into words and letters
What's the piece on 14:27 ?
klamberext tchaikovsky piano concerto no. 1 in b-flat minor op. 23 - allegro non troppo
I wonder whatever happened to that giant key.
is the ear pencil mandatory for cw ???
With all the emphasis on rhythm and spacing early in the video, why does the sender slur the S and O of the SOS sent?
Because "SOS" is not sent as a word, it is sent as a sequence.
+Saul Broudy SOS is a prosign which means it is sent as a single character didididahdahdahdididit instead of dididit dahdahdah dididit

As far as i know V V V is used to test your Settings

What is the music she played in 14.25?
tchaikovsky piano concerto no. 1 in b-flat minor op. 23 - allegro non troppo
Does anyone know the names and ham call letters of these guys?
This a military training video. They may not have been hams.

very informative.
Nice video
GREAT MATERIAL!! Tnx for sharing this video! 73, Joe-k4jga

I was ready to duck and cover!
2020here❤️
When the soldier executed the change step he did it incorrectly haha
He just said they should put small spaces between the letters so they don't run together, and then they run all the characters of SOS together. :-|

Can't type them but when you write them you put an overline on prosigns often.
BK for break for example
Jack Webb was even better later. On TH-cam search for Johnny Carson - Jack Webb and the Copt Klapper Caper
AHORA NO SE DAN CUENTA DE LO IMPORTANTE DEL MORSE CODE
So, if I can send good code, I'll get a date with a hot babe? Where was this film when I was in high school?!? I would have become a ham a whole heck of a lot sooner. :-P
I will send an S.O.S
