the Long Island CW club has that video linked on their website.
Underneath they mentioned there were a few errors :D

The look on Jason's face when Ken (receiving the CW) raised his
hand, was priceless!!

I just went back and re-watched it. I'd be willing to bet if they did it today, text would be done in a fraction of the time. They were using the old 12-button flip phone in that video.

Now you got me interested, I'm going to have to see if I can find
that episode somewhere and watch it!

Since there are copyright issues involved, you may have a hard time finding it.

Here's the full story from the ARRL Website:

Thanks Daryl! I found it on the ARRL website, they had the snipped
of the send and recieve and the CW ops winning. It was entertaining!

During the Australian competition in April, a Morse team consisting of 93-year-old former post office telegrapher Gordon Hill -- the sender
-- and 82-year-old Jack Gibson -- the receiver -- topped 13-year-old
SMSer Brittany Devlin. In that event, Hill spelled out the message in full, while Devlin used text-messaging shorthand. In that competition, held at the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney, Hill took 90 seconds to send
the message, 18 seconds faster than Devlin's message took to reach her friend's cell phone.

That one sounds interesting also, I'll have to see if I can find it.
Thanks for the entertainment...

I operate "internet only", much to the angst of the "purists". But,
with being a heart patient (congestive heart failure), and on a fixed income (disability), I can't afford all the extra gear and accessores. Plus, electronics, etc., was never my forte'.

I have had 'paricarditis' twice now. Felt like I was having
congestive heart failure. First time I was in the hospital for 3
days, second time for a week. The doctors were unable to tell me
what happened. They said it was most likely a virus.

So hopefully you are taking it easy now. I still have problems as I
get older due to the scarring the infection caused. I don't think I
could say I know how you feel though. I think the issue will cause
my life to be shorter, but you can't dwell on things. Gotta live in
the here and now.

Best regards (and health to you) Daryl.

I'm on Lasix, which wasn't my pee-rogative (pun intended), but I've
known folks who've had CHF for years.

None of us is getting any younger. My late father, for years, said he
was 19, and I believed him!! When I passed him, "I smelled a rat"...and
my late wife said "There's something rotten in Denmark, and it isn't the codfish!!". So, the joke got to be "You're 19, and your son is 42?? There
must be something in the water!!". <G>

Best regards (and health to you) Daryl.

Thanks. Getting old isn't for sissies...and if you call me a sissy,
I'll hit you with my purse. <G>

The grin on Ken Miller's Face when he got the message, followed by the
jaw dropping of Jason, when he realized CW had won, was priceless. Then,

It has been nearly 16 years since the FCC dropped the Morse Code
requirement for US Ham Radio License Exams...but from what I've seen,
CW is as popular as ever. Folks are learning it because they WANT to,
and NOT because they HAVE to.

Jimmy,

HAM in a long time either...

For one ham, CW stands for "chicken wings", as that's a dish he loves to
eat (hi hi)...because HAM stands for "Have Another Meal", and you don't
call us "Late For Dinner" (hi hi).

It's a good thing that we don't have to have a minimum of on the air time anymore, never mind constant logging. I log only during my nets, which is
the only time I'm on the air anymore. I rarely get a sked request, and it's rare I just "check into a net". With my net schedule, my "net weekend" is Wednesday and Thursday"...I do 2 nets on Friday, 2 nets on Saturday, 1 net
on Sunday, 2 nets on Monday, and 1 on Tuesday.

Well I never set one up in the house - had to have a lot of work done on
the house, and still haven't 'unpacked' stuff we had to box up, and I'm
doing some of the 'finish work' myself, so...

HAM just hasn't been a priority...

None. And every time I see a trucker with CB antennas, I ask them about their radio.. they say they don't ever turn it on, if they even still have one hooked up.

Plenty of truck traffic on CB in the NY metro area, all the way down to Philly. 6 and 9 tend to be chit chat channels, 19 for traffic alerts. No one puts calls out anymore except a few hardcore DX chasers though.

I know a few hams who are OTR truck drivers...Jeff, KC0JC...Randy, K5NDX... Tom, VE9DS...are the three who come to mind. I've met Jeff and Randy in
