Here’s a couple of old Vibroplex Bugs. A 1912 model X and a 1919 number 4. I wonder how many great conversations those old guys must’ve had with these back in the day!

Here’s an old (1945) WW2 Vibroplex Deluxe Original. Since chrome was scarce during the war, it was replaced by a dark Gray base.

Think Morse code is a dead art? Far from it! In modern amateur radio, CW (Continuous Wave) remains a superpower. Because a Morse signal concentrates all its transmitter power into an ultra-narrow bandwidth—often just 100 Hz compared to 2.4 kHz for SSB voice - it cuts through noise and interference with unbelievable efficiency. When solar conditions dip and voice signals get swallowed by QRN, a CW signal punches through. It’s the ultimate weak-signal, low-power mode for ham radio operators. 🧵👇 #hamradio #amateurradio #hamr #Morsecode
