In 2011 A1 club operated a special memorial station 8J1MORSE commemorating the 220th anniversary of the birth of Samuel Morse and the first successful Morse Code communication across the Atlantic Ocean by Guglielmo Marconi in 1901. With the advancement of radio communication technologies, the Morse Code is placed at the brink of extinction as the modern technology continues to replace the traditional arts of communication. Practical Morse Code examinations for amateur radio licenses have been abolished since 2011 in Japan, as well as in other countries. As the Morse Code technique threatens to disappear even amongst the amateurs, we feel it very important to preserve the Morse Code technique as a thriving and valid means of communication. 8J1MORSE made more than 24,000 QSOs. We believed that we could contribute to preserve the Morse Code to the next generation and also could encourage beginner amateurs to learn the Morse Code and welcome them to the fascinating CW world. Definitely, our movements were not realized without your excellent help. We really appreciate your making contacts with us from all over the world. General correspondence: 8j1morse (at) gmail.com
