Morse Code: The "New" Old Technology

Electronics

Before the Internet, before texting, there was Morse Code. It's a fun way to send messages to friends who know "the code". Join us for a Morse Code hands-on experience and perhaps make a few over-the-air contacts with people in distance places.

Gary Dembski

Licensed in 2016, my amateur radio callsign is W9GD. I own a electrical engineering firm in Elgin, Illinois My company serves industrial manufacturers over Northern Illinois. I enjoy the many facets of Ham Radio. Just talking to others that I have met on the air, communicating to others around the word whether that be on voice or digitally. I enjoy working special event stations like Lighthouses on the air, Route 66 and 13 colonies. I enjoy taking a radio to a park on occasion while enjoying the out of doors and Ham radio. Ham radio is a hobby that is very intriguing and fun as the technology that drives it is always changing offering new adventures. There is always something to learn and everyone finds a niche that they enjoy.

Dave Holmgren

Dave is another long-time amateur radio operator with call sign K9AT. When he is not evaluating the latest Apple technology, handheld radios, chatting with his ham buddies, or admiring color touchscreens, Dave enjoys the outdoors and spending time with his family, pets, and the family's pet robotic lawnmower, Mo.
