Telegraph Sounder

[Thunkful2]

Telegraph morse code sounds quite different from Amateur Radio morse code.

what is the name of this telegraph

[casta947]

This does not sound like beeps, how do you know which click is a dot and which click is a dash.

[er10b]

@casta947 It's all to do with the spacing. If you hold the key down for slightly longer than a dot, then that is considered a dash. Leaving the key for a split second is called a space. Timing is important - 'we train today' may come out as 'wet rain today' if you don't get timing right.

hahaahha i fkin loled

[zimmerking2]

With a diode in series, and a capacitor across the poles of the sounder, the speaker output of your ham radio can make this sucker go to town, If you have a reflector box for the sounder, look around for an old Prince Albert tobacco can and wedge it behind the sounder - they resonate at about 800 Hz! Fun!

[SuperPandas]

Riot's servers seem to be doing unusually well today.

[xafrokillzx]

@SuperPandas haha true that



[racsopetrenas]

xD it sais telegraph sounder but it actually doesnt sound

[glitchesandglitter]

do these things run off phone lines? and if so, could i still communicate with friends using the telegraph?

[BADBIKERBENNY]

Were you sending a message, or just random clicking?

[FDF38]

Hi BADBIKERBENNY:

It's a message in international morse code.

[BADBIKERBENNY]

@FDF38 What I want to know is, what were you sending? I have always found the telegraph, telegraph poles and Morse Code interesting.

[FDF38]

@BADBIKERBENNY

The message is:

CQ CQ CQ DE LW7DDH K K K

[gulparviz]

@FDF38 hello sir. i just wanted to know how u identify any letter in that ticking sound that the telegraph is making. n if there r any codes or patterns then can u make a video on pattern. i really cant find video on how this ticking sound is decoded. thank you.

[c9ari]

Man it is so hard to copy like that. But the CQ did finally come into focus then the de but I could not pull out your call.

[MullinsMovies]

What power supply (watts/volts/AC-DC) are you running?

[FDF38]

@MullinsMovies

It's a 12V DC power supply.

[dyle1231]

so u r just demonstrating to us are ya ?

[MRIYBR]

nice! what is the purpose of those magnets? and how do we send messages using this? i mean, how do we use the morse code? do we literally press the black button a number of times to make a word or is there any other, less hectic way?

[amartini51]

@MRIYBR You press the button in patterns of long and short pulses. Look up Morse Code -- that's how this works. It's not fast compared to what we have today, but it was cutting edge for its time :)

[cailleanmc]

Old GPO sounder?

I am in the States and part of the Women in Technology-19th Centory Project, with reconstructed telegraph offices but American equipment. Nice to see your key and hear your sounder :) Thanks for posting this

[TusFilm]

Nice..... code is "C Q " - a Ham operator asking if there is anyone there to talk to. Dad was a CPR Telegrapher and a Ham operator and often mixed the two codes. I sure miss it... it was 1960 that he passed and the demise of telegraphy was in full swing. Thanks for the Memory

[breezyfhonee]

so this is u using a telegraph r u actually sending a message?

[FDF38]

Hi breezyfhonee:

I'ts only a demonstration.

[jorgloff1933]

How are years old your Telegraph Sounder ?

[FDF38]

Hi jorgloff1933 !!!

Is about 1890.

[jorgloff1933]

Thanks!!! I have Telegraph Sounder just like yours

[liquidbullet5]

How are much is your grammar

[260830107]

how do u get a message from the clicks?

[SystemControlTower]

its in morse code. Dots and dashes dude. XD

[jam342]

i dont get how it works i just rather stick to a normal phone

[Deep40000]

hm nice, 0:24 did you use electromagnets to make the clicking noise?

[FDF38]

Hi Deep40000 !!

Yes, the two black coils are the magnets.

[LW2EQS]

Muy bueno !! Parece raro pero los telegrafistas del ferrocarril reconocian los caracteres por el "clack " , eran otras epocas, nunca vi algo parecido en funcionamiento.

[FDF38]

Gracias Segio !!

73's & good Dx's

[guatemalen79]

whats that?

[VintageAutos]

how old is this instrument?

[FDF38]

Hi VintageAutos !!

Is about 1890.

[VintageAutos]

cool ! would this be the a similar sound to the telegraph clicks in the 1940s in USA?

[velador123]

muy bueno

[VA2SG]

Not that easy to copy if you just have the sound. Looking at the sounder at same time helped a lot to copy. Tnx very much es 73!

(morse code)

[mango393]

wow that looks old.lol

[FDF38]

Hi aeolus925!!!

It's International Code.

It's a CQ :

CQ CQ CQ DE LW7DDH K K K

(LW7DDH is my callsign)

[lu1dz]

Muy buen ejemplo de la telegrafia...!!!

Espero encontrarte en las bandas...

Well done...!!!

[camry1971]

Very simple concept : direct current,coil and an armature ....Samuel Mores will be remembered forever !..thanks for the video .

[aeolus925]

Samuel Morse was a thief. The telegraph itself was invented by Messrs. Cooke & Wheatstone of England, and operated by needle. The familiar clicking telegraph was invented by Alfred Vail... Morse's name only became attached through conniving patent litigation.

[hammerjamer]

Nice key (KD5TEF)

[FDF38]

Thank you very much !!!!

[aeolus925]

1. What are you "saying"?

2. Are you sending in International Code or American (Vail) code?
