[João Costa > CT1FBF]

The future of Morse Code

On Wednesday, April 23, the Royal Union of Belgian Radio Amateurs
(UBA), in collaboration with ETWIE, are holding an meeting to think
about the future of the Morse code

A Google English translation of the UBA post reads:

The roundtable starts at 7pm in the Lamot conference centre in
Mechelen and is open to anyone in any way concerned with or interested
in the use of Morse code.

Morse code was very important for the development of modern
communication techniques. But even now, the Morse code used worldwide
by a relatively large group of people who want to get in touch. For
some time, a working group within the UBA has lead a project on the
recognition of Morse code as intangible heritage, with the intention
of not letting go, and to pass on to the younger generations. A
concrete short-term objective is therefore the recognition of Morse
code on the Inventory of Intangible Cultural Heritage City.

In the context of this heritage operation around the morse code UBA
want the widest possible group of interested people involved. Do you
have experience with the use of Morse code? You think it is important
not to lose the morse code lost? Will you come to think about how we
can pass on to future generations? If you are using Morse code then
you are certainly welcome at the meeting on April 23 in Mechelen.

The program that evening are include:
- a presentation on the significance of the morse code by Frans Verheyden, ON5GO
- an overview of the operation of the UBA heritage by Jacques Verleijen ON4AVJ

But of course we want to especially like to listen to your ideas and
experiences. Are you actively example, a user of the Morse code and
give you training to young people? Do you have ideas to maintain a
partnership with a school in your neighborhood? Morse code up to date
Do you know of research on Morse code? Everything can be discussed!
Your input will it shape the acknowledgment file for inventory
intangible heritage.

Finally, the new brochure "Limitless, with dots and stripes' is
proposed, on the occasion of Heritage Day on Sunday, April 27. At
Heritage UBA organizes numerous places in Flanders activities around
the morse code.

All interested parties are welcome on Wednesday, April 23 at 19h in
Congress and Heritage Lamot (Van Beethoven 8-10, 2800 Mechelen).
