halve tone
Yes I agree that halving tone will make for some raspy CW but its not the tone
thats important in this project...its the ability to give the novices a shot at
nearly real time decoding what they hear go by at blistering speeds.
I may do this with a 555 instead of a PIC.
I will post all results of this experiment...good or bad.
My brand new TEAC retro console mimic has 33 44 and 78. I was playing 78s last week. They truly do suck.
I've been listening to http://www.shoutcast.com and digitising into mp3 for so long now that I forgot just how bad
radio and vinyl sounds. I carry a gumstick size 512 mb music toy that holds 100 tunes on it when I take a bus.
Oh ...and yes..... I am familiar with the various old code teaching methods with records and also paper tape.
I actually have an old paper tape contraption that plays CW with 3 inch reels of paper tape.
Its fun to sit that next to the PIC12C509 mint can code practice toy when showing off the hobby.
Its shows the range of technology from paper and tubes to SMD.
