Dial-up Telegraphy

Think landline telegraphy using genuine American Morse is gone forever ? Well, think again ! A small group of dedicated enthusiasts practice the art of landline Morse telegraphy on a weekly basis using a method called "dial-up telegraphy". Obsolete 300 baud modems are interfaced to a key and sounder with a simple circuit. The full-duplex mode of these modems allows a "DC loop" to be exactly simulated.
