New Bug Cord
One of my daughters wanted to know what to get me for Christmas this year.
I asked for some fabric lamp cord I found on Amazon.com
Cloth lamp cord at:
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=fabric+lamp+cord+
Today, after getting the stereo connector wired up correctly for duplex wire, I got everything put together with it and got it all hooked up.
It didn’t quite turn out as I had imagined it would after having looked at other pictures of old bugs wired up with fabric cord, but I think it turned out pretty good.
I did this just for nostalgic / aesthetic reasons.

REM :

25' Black Twisted Cloth Covered Wire, Antique Lamp Cord, Vintage Fan Cord

Antenna Question
In reference to the loop antenna arrangement, here is a link to an article I put together a couple of years ago regarding my horizontal loop.
It can be found in the October, 2012 issue of "QNI - The NTS Newsletter:"
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73013707/QNI%20October%202012.pdf
The article is entitled "A Big Signal." It has some photos, covers the techniques used for feeding the antenna, a parts list and other ideas, which may prove helpful.
By the way, in case anyone is interested, back issues of "QNI - The NTS Newsletter" can be found on the Texas CW Net Web Page (and other locations on the web) at:
The Newsletter is intended primarily for ARES and NTS volunteers, but there are other articles that may be of interest to SKCC members.

Telephone vs Telegraph circuits..
Speaking of noisy circuits, I spent a few weeks in the 60's as second trick op at "YD" Wisconsin St. Yard in Indianapolis.
The phone system in the yard was a "grounded" system ..... using earth return for one side.
It
was very hard to understand anybody, due to the constant 60 cycle (Hertz) hum
on the line.

You
might be interested in Morse Code Tools.
http://morse-rss-news.sourceforge.net/
It
will take a text file, RSS feed (Yahoo has good ones), Twitter feed, and
produce the sound of American/Railroad Morse.
Several selectable sounder styles.
See
this video:
http://youtu.be/gxi3AuwJuBI
The
video starts with International Morse with various sound effects, then goes to
American at 2:13. It will key a sounder with the right interface (described in
the help file).
