It's a great chance for us to plug Morse, telegraphy and ham radio! Thanks.
It *was* a great segment...
But speaking from our experience working with publicity and media
relations for the Pink Pistols ( http://www.pinkpistols.org ) over the
last few years, I just think it's sad that the Leno people managed to
almost completely bury the ham radio connection, although one of you (I
missed which one) managed to punch up that point despite the overall
spin of the segment.
I wonder how many people watching even knew that radios were being used?
I also think the costumes (and they *were* really cute) helped
contriubute to the perception that Morse is something that's not done
outside museums anymore.
When you only have two or three minutes to work with it's hard to do
everything you might want to. But a valiant effort nontheless!
Congratulations es 73 de Maggie K3XS
