[UK-CONTEST] Contest: Test Message vs Morse

[Dave Lawley]

A few weeks ago the story was on the news that a 93 year-old telegrapher 
in Australia had beaten a youngster in a competition to see which was 
the faster way of sending a message: SMS text or Morse code.

On Friday evening in the US on the Jay Leno show, a similar test was set 
up. One of the Morse guys was Chip, K7JA who some of you might have met 
at the RSGB HF Convention last October. Scott KA9FOX has put some 
recordings of that part of the show onto the web, see the email below 
from cq-contest.

If any of you didn't catch the cell phone text messaging versus CW 
competition last night on the Tonight Show, I captured the file with a 
new video card I have in my PC, then converted to a couple different
formats.  Never done this before, so I'm sure there is room for improvement.

Anyway, I have them available via my home Internet connection:

There are 3 files... the 3mb file is pretty low quality, but for any of 
you dialup users, it may be a good option.  The other two are 22mb and 
91mb  (the original MPG file)

Enjoy!  Long live CW!!  C U Dayton!
