Dear Morse Code User,

My name is Tanisha Hill-Jarrett, and I am the new student in charge of the
Morse study at the University of Pittsburgh.

We are contacting you because we would like to invite you to participate in
a research study involving Morse code. The study is split into two-three
parts each of which takes approximately one hour to complete, and can be
completed from the comfort of your own home.

Since you will complete the study from your home computer, we will send you
all of the required materials. When you complete the study, you send the
materials back to us at no cost to you. This is done through pre-paid
postage stamped packages. Prior to the study, you will be contacted for a
brief screening to make sure you are eligible to participate. If you are
considered eligible, we will then talk about all aspects of the experiment,
including directions. Also, we will be able to answer any questions that you
might have. The experiment consists of lists of speech letters and Morse
letters that you will be asked to recall and can be completed at a time of
your choosing, requiring only about an hour to complete.

We are asking you to give us some of your time and knowledge in an effort to
gain information about short-term (working memory). By participating, you
will be helping the scientific research community through the use of your
unique expertise with Morse. We hope to learn more about the distinct
properties of Morse while the knowledge is still available. Your
participation would be invaluable to gaining scientific knowledge about
verbal working memory representations.

We are currently seeking people who are proficient in Morse code, meaning
that they are able to send/receive Morse at a level of at least 15 words per
minute. Also, participants must be at least 18 years of age, and have access
to a personal computer. If you are interested in participating and feel that
you fit the above criteria, please email us at morsestudy at hotmail.com or
call 412-624-7083 to learn more.

Also, we ask that you inform other users of Morse of this important
opportunity to increase knowledge of working memory. This will help to
increase the number of participants who can provide valuable information to
the study.

Thank you,
Tanisha
