Mrs Breen’s dad sending Morse Code
WATCH THIS VEDEO TO SEE WHAT IT WAS LIKE BEFORE MOBILE PHONES
In the past, before telephones were invented, Morse Code was used to send messages. It was lots of sounds that made up words. To most people it just sounded like beeping noises but to a Telegraphist it was many words that made up sentences. It was used during the war to send messages to soldiers families and was the main form of communication. Mrs Breens’s father, Kevin, was one of these people who sent and received Morse Code.
In the video clip I was at a Morsecodians Reunion with dad and he was sending me a message saying hello Denise and telling me about the function we were at in Sydney.
Dad was present when the final Morse Code message was sent.
So different to the way we communicate these days.
