Hi All,

A bit of history - Morse code was originally conceived to be sent by DC
current in telegraph wires, and received by a so-called "register" that made
impressions of the dots and dashes on a paper tape, that were then
interpreted by the telegraphist. First long-distance trial was in 1844, long
before Marconi! In the 1860's it was found that telegraph operators could
actually decode the clicks coming from the register, and the first "aural"
copy of morse became commonplace.

So perhaps QRSS has more in common with "original" morse than some would
like to admit.....
