Samuel Morse’s Birthday

Did anyone happen to visit Google today? Those who haven’t… if it isn’t too late, have a squiz now.  Update: Google have reverted back to their old logo… the one they had up is pictured below.

Yeah… I saw it and said… WTF… then it hit me what I was looking at. You’d think with the number of times I’ve heard CW on the air, I’d have recognised it straight off.

Anyway… happy birthday to you Samuel, and thank-you for providing us with this wonderful low-bandwidth mode that still sees use today. One of these days, I’ll actually get around to having a QSO on this mode. 😉
