(IRISH RADIO TRANSMITTERS SOCIETY) ** KICKER: MORSE CODE IN A NEW DIMENSION DON/ANCHOR: For this week's final story, we look at a bit of modern innovation. It's always nice when amateur radio can enter a new dimension. As we close out this week's report, we look at a Morse Code Key that is definitely in that category, because it gets all three of its dimensions from a 3-D printer. Although that's where the key originates, its real roots are in the imagination of the 14-year-old son of the Texas radio amateur, Joe Delgado, KC5ILR, who developed the key to make his son happy. Joe says on his website that his son wanted something "cool" and "colorful" for Morse Code, and the 3-D printing of the key made him happy -- plus it sends code! Now if someone can find a way to print a 3-D noise filter to clean up the bands, we've got it made.
