Tonight's show is 00:05:20.389 --> 00:05:23.069 all about celebrating Hamvention, so we're going 00:05:23.069 --> 00:05:26.250 to start off by sharing one of my favorite Hamvention 00:05:26.250 --> 00:05:29.689 stories. My best friend Eric in 9KDB and I were 00:05:29.689 --> 00:05:32.889 making our annual trip to Hamvention and as we 00:05:32.889 --> 00:05:35.310 walk into the main arena we hear this Morse code 00:05:35.310 --> 00:05:37.569 in the background which really isn't unusual 00:05:37.569 --> 00:05:42.079 for Hamvention. But after we finished in the 00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:44.139 main arena, we went out to the hallway to go 00:05:44.139 --> 00:05:46.819 to some of the other buildings that surround 00:05:46.819 --> 00:05:49.480 the main arena and we found this guy just blasting 00:05:49.480 --> 00:05:53.360 this cassette tape. And this tells you how long 00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:56.680 ago that was. It was a cassette tape. He was 00:05:56.680 --> 00:05:59.560 blasting away on this huge boom box and it was 00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:04.139 Morse code. Set to music and we laughed and laughed 00:06:04.139 --> 00:06:06.800 and laughed and we stopped to talk to the guy 00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:10.699 and we were so fascinated that Eric had to buy 00:06:10.699 --> 00:06:13.100 one and so we just had to get one for the sheer 00:06:13.100 --> 00:06:15.540 novelty of it It's called rhythm of the code. 00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:20.459 Here's a little bit of the rhythm of the code 00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:27.980 the rhythm of the code a dit is a dot a da is 00:06:27.980 --> 00:06:43.680 a dash the rhythm of the code alpha bravo charlie 00:06:43.680 --> 00:07:05.860 delta Okay, so you kind of get the idea that 00:07:05.860 --> 00:07:10.579 it's very repetitive But that's the whole idea 00:07:10.579 --> 00:07:13.680 is if you listen to that over and over and over 00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:16.199 and over and over and over again You'll learn 00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:21.339 the code and it actually works. So We kept hearing 00:07:21.339 --> 00:07:24.339 it every single time we'd go down the hallway, 00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:26.660 and it was one of those things that you just 00:07:26.660 --> 00:07:29.759 kind of love and hate at the same time. It really 00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:31.879 stuck in your head, and we found ourselves playing 00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:35.939 it on the way home in the car. And some of my 00:07:35.939 --> 00:07:38.800 students over the years have asked about Morris 00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:41.600 Code, in fact, including our assistant producer 00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:45.319 back in Bloomington, Nick. And I would refer 00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:48.699 them to this song. as a starting point to learn 00:07:48.699 --> 00:07:52.180 code. So it is available on YouTube. We'll post 00:07:52.180 --> 00:07:56.000 a link to that. on our Facebook page and our 00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:58.439 Twitter feed if you need to find that or you 00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:01.660 can just search for it. So just a few weeks ago 00:08:01.660 --> 00:08:03.639 I looked it up and found the guy who created 00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:09.439 this. His name is Phil Kawa. K -A -1 -W -J -Q. 00:08:10.100 --> 00:08:11.920 And Phil was nice enough to give us permission 00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:14.980 to use it on the show today. And he said he sold 00:08:14.980 --> 00:08:18.259 a lot of those tapes that year but also created 00:08:18.259 --> 00:08:22.740 a lot of enemies. So thanks to Phil. And if you 00:08:22.740 --> 00:08:24.779 want to learn some Morse code, there's a great 00:08:24.779 --> 00:08:27.420 way to start.

He actually should have 00:35:22.780 --> 00:35:25.739 been able to park there, but The police showed 00:35:25.739 --> 00:35:30.059 up, knocked on his door, so this is a great story. 00:35:31.579 --> 00:35:36.500 Come see Corey tomorrow morning.

But, but we've got another one on here. 00:39:46.789 --> 00:39:50.230 I I'm old only relative to like trees that were 00:39:50.230 --> 00:39:53.210 planted during the civil war. I'm actually very 00:39:53.210 --> 00:40:02.030 young. It's Brian. And do you still have the 00:40:02.030 --> 00:40:07.590 WB nine QVR? Uh, yes, I do. I actually tried 00:40:07.590 --> 00:40:09.869 for a vanity call a couple of years ago because 00:40:09.869 --> 00:40:13.750 I wanted something like N9EE for CW, but I didn't 00:40:13.750 --> 00:40:16.869 get what I wanted. So I stuck with WB9QBR. It's 00:40:16.869 --> 00:40:18.570 probably a good thing because everyone knows 00:40:18.570 --> 00:40:22.590 me as the Q anyway. So if I changed it, it just 00:40:22.590 --> 00:40:25.170 wouldn't have worked. So that's why I've kept 00:40:25.170 --> 00:40:27.769 mine all these years. It's, you know, it's a 00:40:27.769 --> 00:40:30.590 tongue twister of a call, but I've had it for 00:40:30.590 --> 00:40:33.960 so long and yeah, everybody knows you as the 00:40:33.960 --> 00:40:38.900 queue. Exactly. I have no other identity. It's 00:40:38.900 --> 00:40:42.420 strictly the queue. I just wanted to give you 00:40:42.420 --> 00:40:45.099 a little sort of behind the scenes information 00:40:45.099 --> 00:40:48.500 about the rhythm of the code. Very few people 00:40:48.500 --> 00:40:50.400 know this, primarily because I'm making it up, 00:40:50.659 --> 00:40:55.059 but it was actually the number one requested 00:40:55.059 --> 00:40:59.219 song at Studio 54 for a number of years. Very 00:40:59.219 --> 00:41:03.309 nice. Yes, yes. Unfortunately, it probably led 00:41:03.309 --> 00:41:07.610 to the demise of Studio 54, but just a little 00:41:07.610 --> 00:41:09.530 point of fact that you probably aren't going 00:41:09.530 --> 00:41:11.650 to find on Wikipedia. I thought I'd throw that 00:41:11.650 --> 00:41:14.949 in. Oh, I'm glad you did. I'm going to have to 00:41:14.949 --> 00:41:18.369 talk to Phil about that. That's right. He may 00:41:18.369 --> 00:41:20.809 not even know, because again, I'm completely 00:41:20.809 --> 00:41:24.150 lying, but you know, it's just he might be interested 00:41:24.150 --> 00:41:30.260 in that. Well, Neil, it's good to know that you're 00:41:30.260 --> 00:41:32.340 live over at Hamvention and that you're going 00:41:32.340 --> 00:41:35.380 to buy everything that I need and deliver it 00:41:35.380 --> 00:41:38.320 to me personally. That's the deal, right? Yeah, 00:41:38.360 --> 00:41:40.599 that's the deal. I need to make a trip to Evansville, 00:41:41.019 --> 00:41:44.519 so, you know. Hey, we got that one. Sorry, Newberg. 00:41:45.500 --> 00:41:47.900 Yeah, well, Evansville sort of claims us, you 00:41:47.900 --> 00:41:50.289 know, that... Sometimes they do. Sometimes they 00:41:50.289 --> 00:41:52.929 don't, but you know, we got I 69 now that just 00:41:52.929 --> 00:41:54.769 sort of sort of splits the difference between 00:41:54.769 --> 00:41:56.989 Evansville and Newberg. Uh, you know, I'll even 00:41:56.989 --> 00:41:59.050 save you the trouble. I'll, I'll meet you like 00:41:59.050 --> 00:42:01.130 out on the highway and just transfer all the 00:42:01.130 --> 00:42:04.150 goods over to my vehicle. So I'm just, I'm just 00:42:04.150 --> 00:42:08.250 that nice a guy. Okay. Well, just send me the 00:42:08.250 --> 00:42:11.130 list. We'll get it. We'll get it going. You know, 00:42:11.130 --> 00:42:13.949 uh, I don't know. You guys don't have Kroger 00:42:13.949 --> 00:42:17.230 down there. Kroger's got this new thing now that 00:42:17.230 --> 00:42:20.429 you can order all your groceries online and you 00:42:20.429 --> 00:42:22.750 just go pick them up the next day. They bring 00:42:22.750 --> 00:42:25.969 them out to your car and everything. Wow. Now 00:42:25.969 --> 00:42:28.050 I, I need to do that, but you know, just for 00:42:28.050 --> 00:42:30.829 fun, I think I would order like a Snickers bar 00:42:30.829 --> 00:42:33.710 and nothing else. And just, just to see them 00:42:33.710 --> 00:42:35.630 carry that out to my car. I think that would 00:42:35.630 --> 00:42:40.150 be fun. What they need is that service at Hamvention 00:42:40.150 --> 00:42:42.670 with like a drive up window for those people 00:42:42.670 --> 00:42:45.050 who, you know, it's a long walk. You know, you 00:42:45.050 --> 00:42:46.710 can just order this stuff and then go to the 00:42:46.710 --> 00:42:49.150 Hamvention drive up window and hand it out to 00:42:49.150 --> 00:42:52.599 you. And drive up in the scooter. Exactly. Now 00:42:52.599 --> 00:42:54.500 it might be a little tough with one of those, 00:42:54.500 --> 00:42:57.019 you know, a hundred foot tri -X towers, you know, 00:42:57.019 --> 00:42:59.219 to get that through the drive up window, but 00:42:59.219 --> 00:43:02.019 it's worth a try. So maybe you can work on that 00:43:02.019 --> 00:43:04.440 for next year. I think that's a great suggestion. 00:43:04.480 --> 00:43:06.800 I think I need to call Jim Tiederman and tell 00:43:06.800 --> 00:43:11.119 him that, that we need to do that. Exactly. All 00:43:11.119 --> 00:43:14.019 right. Brian, thanks so much for calling. Good 00:43:14.019 --> 00:43:17.880 to hear from you. We're out of time. So all right. 00:43:17.960 --> 00:43:20.159 Have fun there and tell everyone. I said, hello, 00:43:20.260 --> 00:43:22.420 even those people that don't know me as the queue. 00:43:22.780 --> 00:43:28.099 All right. Brian Ashy WB nine QVR from Newberg. 00:43:28.760 --> 00:43:33.460 Thanks for joining us. Well, guys, gals, anybody 00:43:33.460 --> 00:43:38.480 else. We're out of time.
