So, any Ham who's ever touch the paddles or a key has gotten his (or her) fingers in a knot and made some pretty embarrassing mistakes sending CW. But, at least, they were probably only noticed by the operator at the other end.
How about someone who messes up Morse for all to see for hundreds of miles around, and then it pounds on with the relentless repetition only an automatic message can do? My good friend Mychael (a.k.a. "the toroidguy") AA3WF sent this along to me about the city where he lives, and where Morse seems permanently mangled: http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/09193/983408-53.stm and a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fTYzoSDAS4 He writes, "Our attempts to get the situation rectified fell on deaf ears, so perhaps this recent attention can see the situation remedied!" We can only hope but, after all, aren't newspapers notorious for mangled spelling? (If anyone remembers what a newspaper looks like, that is.) 73 to my fellow CW enthusiasts - keep pounding brass, no matter what.
