I promise I will stop after this!

It seems that I was not quite as wrong as it originally appeared, and I now understand the reason for my confusion.

The first successful electric telegraph was patented by Cooke and Wheatstone in 1837, and did use galvanometer type signal indicators which were later (quite a lot later) refined into undulators. Clearly these telegraphs did not use Morse code, but by 1845 were using two needle systems thereby also having three states and representing characters.

I appreciate that the above has very little to do with either WSJT or contesting and I apologise.
