America’s Last Morse-Code Station

Maritime Morse code was formally phased out in 1999, but in California, a group of enthusiasts who call themselves the “radio squirrels” keeps the tradition alive.

The above is your name Code. I may have been really good with Morse Code. 😂

There are many excellent reasons why Morse Code ability should never be discarded. As a means of communications during adverse events, there is nothing today as versatile and reliable

In these enlightened times, you'd find most telegraphers off sick with RSI.

Spanish soldiers change gender to gain benefits intended for women

Roberto Perdigones, an army corporal who registered as female in the last year, now earns more money and lives in superior accommodation.

“On the outside I feel like a heterosexual man, but on the inside I am a lesbian. And it is the latter that counts. This is why I made the legal change to become a woman,” Corporal Perdigones, who continues to sport a beard, told El Español.

Sources close to Ceuta’s security forces said male officers are changing their legal gender in the hope of gaining promotions.

Corporal Perdigones said “positive discrimination” was an incentive for becoming a woman.

“For changing my gender, I have been told that my pension has gone up because women get more to compensate for inequality. I also get 15 per cent more salary for being a mother,” he said
