M0RSE - a special callsign to celebrate
Morse Code
The
call M0RSE was first issued in 1991 to celebrate the 200th anniversary
of Samuel F.B. Morse's birth. Since then the call has not been used.
In order to promote interest in CW the First Class CW Operators Club has
arranged with Ofcom and RSGB that the call M0RSE can be used for Morse
related events from time to time. Events such as CW
demonstrations, Straight Key events, QSO parties, etc. but NOT contests.
In 1991 the call was used by a number of clubs and individuals and this arrangement seems to have worked very well. So the same arrangement will also apply now and the call is available to all UK amateur radio clubs with competent CW operators.
