GOOD JOB! 73!

That is awesome. Do the switches come in Legos, or is it something that was improvised?

cool

Love this. Just emailed Hugo to get the plans. My 6 year old will love this as well. I'm teaching him Morse Code.

I built one like it by following the instructions of Hugo. Funny. 73 de IW3ILM.

"Normally considered to be a precision instrument..." Well, a paddle connected to a keyer isn't really a precision instrument. The keyer is doing all the timing, the paddles are just selecting short or long signals. Even in a straight key, the precision is in the spring tension and contact points, not the material around them. But it is cute to see someone putting Lego's to such use.

hell thats difficult but it works after 2 times hearing it. I just finished my basic training in the german navy where I was also trained to read light morse at 8 wpm and it really is quite different.
what is he/she messeging?

(at different speeds). This is a conventional way to call for any remote station to respond. M0HSW is Hugo's callsign.

I would really love to see the complete building instructions for that, I need a paddle and that would do me nicely while I save up for a more permanent one. :)

Hi RN3AOH. Contact Hugo - he's done all the instructions you'll need! M0HSW is QTHR on qrz
