Instructograph Simulator

Does anyone have the last version of Ted Wagner's Instructograph Simulator.

I have a copy of the beta version.

I think there were couple newer versions.
Thanks, Joe

Joe,
I have version 0.7.0.2 but do not know if it is the Beta version or later.
Steve Bartlett

It seems the last published version was 1.1.2, but so far I haven't been able to find a copy.

It may be available (only fo members) at:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Instructograph/files/Instructograph_v-1.1.2.zip

but apparently I'm no longer a member of that group so I can't access it.

73,  Les Kerr

Yes, the file is still there.

I downloaded it long ago, but I just checked the files section.

If someone needs it, I can send it directly to you.

If you have Win10, the file explorer should be able to open the ISO file to allow you to run setup.

73, Chip

An iso file is a file that your computer's CD burner software can use to burn a CD of the program.

This URL gets you to an explanation.

OR,

I downloaded and installed the Free Pismo File Mount program, installed it, and ran the iso file.
From the site's hyperlink:
http://www.pismotechnic.com/download/

This extracted the Instructograph material, which included a setup.exe file, which I ran.
I now have the Instructograph program running on a Windows 7 machine.
Steve Bartlett
See attachment pse.

Unzip with Express Zip you get all files after that run the setup.exe file

Santagram Special Event - November 17 wire 11

    On Friday November 17, the Toledo Chapter of the Morse Telegraph Club will be transmitting “santagrams” from the Saginaw, Michigan “Holidays in the Heart of the City” event This is an annual event during which Christmas telegrams to “Santa Claus” are transmitted in standard book format using traditional telegraph instruments and the American Morse Code.

    While the telegrams are transmitted via land-line telegraph to Fairbanks (North Pole) Alaska, an intermediate office located near Chicago will be connected to the wire. This office will repeat the message traffic via Amateur Radio so that Morse Telegraph Club members, retired telegraphers, radio amateurs and others who are not connected to the wire will have an opportunity to monitor the traffic.

    This event also coincides with the annual “Bug Roundup” sponsored by the Samuel F. Morse Amateur Radio Club. Of course, the Vibroplex “bug” was originally developed for land-line telegraphy and this event provides an opportunity for today’s radio amateur to hear the original American Morse Code being transmitted with a bug.

    The event will commence at approximately 6:30 PM EST (2330Z) on Friday, November 17. The frequency will be 7115 kHz. The call sign for the event will be K8QMN. Please note that the starting time is approximate depending on conditions at the event. Expect approximately two hours of activity. In prior years, over 300 telegrams have been transmitted during the event. The Saturday afternoon event on November 18, which runs from noon to 2:00 PM, will not be re-transmitted via Amateur Radio.

    For those who are unfamiliar with the history of telegraphy; railroad and commercial telegraphers utilized the original version of the Morse Code, whereas radio operators utilize the Continental Code (“International Morse Code”). Typical industries that used the original American Morse Code included railroads, commercial telegraph companies (Western Union, Postal Telegraph, CN and CP Telegraph), stock brokerages, commodities exchanges, press services (United Press, Associated Press, International News Service), newspapers, pipeline companies and AT&T (Bell System).

    This event gives radio amateurs an opportunity to hear book traffic being transmitted using the “mother tongue” at commercial speeds. Best of all, one will find the event to provide interesting insights into the types of toys and gifts today’s children would like. One even encounters the occasional adult request which can provide interesting insights as well.

    For more information on the history of telegraphy, please visit the web page of the Morse Telegraph Club at:

[skcc] SKCC Key Catalog

A straight key, bug & sideswiper database has been set up where SKCC members can list their collection of keys along with photos and optional offer to sell or trade.

You can access the db / catalog here:
https://groups.io/g/SKCC/table?id=1700

It's easy to add or update keys in the database.

Directions are on the page.
If you don't have a password to the Groupsi.io SKCC page you can get in with temporary access at this link:
https://groups.io/sendloginlink?r=

Also, we can now refer to permalinks for individual key entries, like this one to N3YUG's John Wellings key:
https://groups.io/g/SKCC/viewrow?id=1700&rowid=62262

Suggestions for the key catalog format are welcome.

We could add columns for additional photos or other information.

If you don't have any photos or don't want to trade or sell them you can still enter them in the catalog.

It might be interesting to see how many of each type of key members own.

(Though anyone who has been in SKCC for awhile probably has a pretty good idea).

Any SKCC group subscriber can add their key(s) to the database.

You don't need a photo or youtube link; you can edit your entries later.

An image database of SKCC member QSL cards has been set up. See attached jpeg, or you can access the db here:
https://groups.io/g/SKCC/table?id=1705

Feel free to add your own cards, present & past. Directions are on the db page.

We'll be on at least three bands (80, 40, 20m) and if 20m folds the last half hour we'll switch to 160m.

Work us once, work us three or four times and you can download this beautiful PDF certificate for your shack...absolutely free!

The certificate will be on line for one month only so get it while it’s hot!
Here is the link to download the certificate:

Hello friends

This is an interesting article written by SSN member and our old friend, Lery, UA3AO.

This is the appendix from his book on Russian keys.

Lery took a video of this type of key in operation:

https://youtu.be/9g6z7-d1fiI

And:

And:

https://youtu.be/kpUEgyxU5-8

More of this type of key here:

Attach a translation of the article that Lery UA3AO wrote for his book on Russian keys.

This appendix to his book is concerned only with the very interesting "Bug with Two Levers" which I have called "Bug with 'cootie dasher'"

73, David N1EA

See eventual my PLL Nr.449 from 29 dec. 2016

I wrote: Hello all, makes extra dashes with the forefinger from the left to the right.
