This page contains recordings that Kathy and I made in July 2004 of Al operating his radio and sending Morse code.
1. (6:52) This recording was made while we tested the old tape recorder we were using. We talked for about 20 seconds and then Al demonstrated Morse code for about 2 min 20 sec. During the last approximately 4 minutes we talk about various things including a keyboard that he has on which you can type just like a typewriter and the letters are converted into code. I tried out the keyboard so I guess I can honestly say that I sent a message in Morse code.
2. (2:10) To continue his demonstration, Al arranged to contact his friend George Ensign in Arizona. This recording is of Al explaining what he plans to do.
3. (9:15) This is the communication between Al Leuker (WK9ZZ in Racine, Wisconsin) and George Ensign (N9HI in Golden Valley, Arizona).
4. (3:43) Al summarizes his conversation with George, which primarily has to do with George’s health, and then signs off.
