- Denice Stoops ( known as 'DA' ) Sending the ceremonial closing transmissions of Night of Nights XI.
Each year one minute after the 'official' end of commercial morse, coast stations take to the airwaves and pay tribute to the mode, people, and history of commercial morse communications.
DA is keying all the transmitters for KPH, KSM, and KFS here in this video. Go to www.radiomarine.org for the full story on Night of Nights. - Věda a technologie
Happy Birthday, DA!
I'm in awe. Clean, rhythmic, effortless. What style! This is art.
The music of morse has gladdened the hearts of many as we have crossed the barriers of time and space. We ask your aid and guidance in our decisions and actions during the coming year that we may be worthy of the equipment and tradition that has been entrusted into our humble hands. Bless also the ears around the world that share the fruits of our labours."
My grandfather was the inventor of the Vibroplex Lightning Bug. Sadly I know nothing about the telegraph but find it so interesting that there are so my enthusiast who still enjoy today.
I had a lightning Bug. I went into the Army and lent it to someone. Came out of the Army and could never remember who had it. Of course no one ever came forward. I replaced it with a Japanese bug - the worst piece of crap ever, then went to paddles and electronic keyers. Sure wish I still had the bug.
Perfect! Her sending is music to my ears.
Beautiful sound, thank you
CW FOREVER

Love the Vibroplex (I have the same model) produces such excellent morse. Well done DA.. QSL VA
Really a synphony of dots and dashes. I will always recall. Thank you lady. RO.
My this Lady is the real thing. Not used in 50 years. She knows her job and very well at it by far. Thank you for sharing. Retired Navy U.S.
This lady is a pro. respect. and best wishes go to DA and everyone of the old guard still practising the most basic form of radiocommunication. 73
I love the fluid motion of her hand.
She has a sweet swing. Retired US Navy Master Chief Radioman '77
Worked your stations many times during my seafaring days and was able to read all of that even though I've been out of that job since 1986. Guess the old morse neurons are burned in .. ... very nice video.
Very very impressive. I'm going to come visit one July 12th to see this. I'd love to grab lunch with Denice. I'm just beginning to learn CW. This is an inspiring video. Congrats to all who keep this historic building and piece of history working. 73 from W3ATB.
If everyone could send like this, CW decoders would actually work.
Yes!
Im impressed. wish I could pick out the actual code other than cq!
The most superb sending.
Very impressive bug fist! And the "Dear Goddess," very progressive! Thanks for your good work. VE7CNF.
Glad you like it! 73 de K6FRC
wow. this is an absolute art form
Superb sending ... -.-
"Beautiful are the hands of those who bring news via morse code"
Never learnt to use a keyer....Great stuff brings a tear to my eye....hope it stays alive!
Great sender indeed. I just love the way she is relaxed with the key. Like playing music like she said. Music of MORSE.. I love CW and still use it today.. I am not as good as she is. My C.W. speed is about 18 WPM.
We need to see a link to Night of Nights 12!
Amazing! Is so musical. Never heard a long transmission to get the real flavor of Morse Code -- beautiful. Would love to see transcript.
Dear Goddess, The members of the maritime radio historical society are your humble servants and we thank you for protecting us this past year as we continue our stewardship of the stations KPH and KSM.
She is awesome...
Paul, was there another ceremony July 2013, and if so, do you have any footage?
Now that's what I call ''CREAM''....beautiful txing and thank goodness for Vibroplex, those machines certainly have helped those that have got a 'glass wrist' when having 'pumped' away too much on a conventional key. Very nice to copy you DA. 73's and 88s de G4KKZ AR VA
Bloody great stuff.....
I would have loved to see the text appear as she was sending it. 73 from a former radio amateur. Former, because there was just too much disturbance on 2 m and 70 cm in my area and I didn't (and don't) see myself learning morse code.
I did not understand much, but I began to dance...
BRAVA!!!!!
Best bug fist I've ever heard.
It's an art to say the least. (Retired CG radioman sends)
She is good , tks, 73 I like the Stoops family !
She is the best!!
😮oh my god😮real radio😮😊❤🎉
YES! The way God intended it.
She deserves applause after that warm message:-))))
WAS the best work of my lif, only CW the radio station ZWRF 1972 to 1977.
My goodness she is good.
What is the night of the night?
now thats a gift !!!!!
Great Denice, many thanks for your "Morse job"

Wow!
Hi? If you are keying now, is the amateur call sign, w6cf?
It is very nice.
This is not amateur radio. This is maritime radio. See www.radiomarine.org for a full explanation.
I plan on making it this July 12th 2020. Who else is going? I read on their website they even let guest send on the air. Hope I read that correctly. I'd love to be able to broadcast a little something from KPH!
Yes, guests with CW skills are welcome to send. Hope to see you there!
Click on the little gear image at the bottom right of the video window and you can slow down the speed and copy along. Well I tried but cant separate the buzzing and tone to make it work for me.
It's pretty noisy in the transmitter site operations room where this was filmed. And the MW receiver sounds chirpy due to signal overload since the transmitter is there also. Doesn't phase DA one bit. She's a pro!
Wonderful. Best 73's from an ex R/O of MauritiusRadio/3BM
Sorry but what does this have to do with Night of Nights?
I think i might be at the wrong video.
I would be live that this would be on Paul's channel. Just decided to look through some older videos. I also see that he had the HAM radio skit thing that blew up a few years ago. Strange how it is now Model As.
Nobody watched my radio stuff, but the car stuff kinda blew up, so I went with it. I talked about that in the FAQ video and the 10K sub video.
I like the car videos better... but then again I'm a model A guy.
Bloody Good listening to her sending in plain English:-)
She is sending the closing message, the very last transmission that wraps up Night of Nights. It has EVERYTHING to do with Night of Nights, OM.
Very good
Wow!! Excellent cw!

Like Jimmy playing his guitar
Great fist, but I'm really surprised at how much her hand is moving on paddles. I'd think it would get really tired. Her thumb really arcs back and it looks like she's using all four fingers on the right side. Like some letters get different fingers tapping the paddle. (I didn't try to tell which ones) Captivating.
it's a vibroplex keying, very good fist!
NCS 8th Sig 60/63 haven't heard CW for 50 years. Thanks for sharing. Used the speed key too. Navy was always better.
Wow ! Can u tell what model key she is using ?
Standard Vibroplex. Only modification is double stick tape holding it down to the counter.
@@ModelA "semi-automatic bug" , right ?
No, fully manual Vibroplex bug. She's THAT good.
@@thirtycrows By "dots", I presume you mean dits? And by "dashes", I presume you mean dahs?
I am well versed in the use and construction of Vibroplex bugs. I have never seen one with a "semi-automatic" plate or emblem on them. Do you have one like that? If so, please share it with us! That would be neat.
@@ModelA She is using a semi-automatic "bug" as those of us in the trade call it. I'd post a pic of mine but I don't think it's possible
Wow. What a great fist!!
She is the best!
a real professional
DE KPH/KFS/KSM. What station is that?
It is 3 separate stations.
last of the morse maritime stations
She is in control of planet earth...
Hahahaa!!!
That my friends is a Paddle master!
it's my dream !
Nice................
She's a nice person too
What a great fist ... good touch on that bug ...
LuV iT !!!!
I copied strictly manual Morse while in the Army. Some ops were so terrible, your teeth would grate in frustration. Other ops were fast, clean & had a distinct rhythm (fist]. One of my "targets" could do 20+ gpm, but had a "rockin'" rhythm that made it easy to get in the groove and just copy him for hours. Those NVA/VC OPS were great.
05/Hog from when to when and where stationed?
Fellow Hog 84 to 94. Field Station Kunia HI twice and NSA once also a tac unit.
Had some ops close to 50 GPM.
@@packerbacker63 Greetings fellow Mill Monkey! I was at the 7th RRFS (Udorn, Thailand) from 12/70-08/71/, Then Det J, 7th RRFS (Ubon RTAFB) from 08/71-06/72. Thoroughly enjoyed my time in country. Didn't save a dime, but partied my brains out!!!
Finished my enlistment at VHFS. Hated that place.
13th FS in comm room. Buddies with the 058s and 059s. Had been a ham for ten years and could copy everything.
i did hear the 73
wow~wow Best keyer,,,, nice,,,
👏👏👏👏👏👏
She has an extra big relation of dah/dit. Nice and clear.
WOW.................. W4GSM
cw I love it
Also her legs playing morse, it looks like she is dancing.
It's a full body sport! Usually, she has dozens of metal bracelets on also, and you get to see whole body dancing plus all the bracelets dancing on her sending arm. She is awesome OP and a great person.
This is FUCKING BEST
@sitor2812 ?? Didn't miss a letter, she doing allright pa5abw/ex r/o merchant fleet
DA, Radio City Music Hall is calling your fingers! FB SW (sweet woman)! KB1ZOJ
Best of CW. Hope she teach me es come back as ham. JP1GUW
She IS a ham now also. But she is a commercial OP primarily.
It sounds like the deep clicking noise and the Side tone are casusing it not to be so clear to me! She has a WONDERFUL fist, and I am able to head copy a lot of what shes sending ( and i cant do that normally) , but thats what a pro sounds like! The other videos have better sound! Teach me Wise One! Id love to have an Elmer this good! de KE7ZVJ --... ...-- - ..-
Attention fellow Vibroplex-loving geezers: If you repeatedly call CQ and no one answers it may be because of your annoyingly exaggerated "Vibroplex Swing". Listen to DA's perfection and learn! 73 de k4zi
.....and from that day every radiocomms in the world getting worst !!
ar.......sk
beautiful

Some of the bug guys today could learn a thing or too from her. For starters, your spacing! Most have too much spacing! 73! KN4SA
She is fantastic!
and when we dont hear from her anymore due to rhumatism and arthirtis of the hands....
Copied about 95% - after a decade off. Esp liked the 73s and 88s at the end. Hope this tradition is being continued and that the society continues. de K7HIL since 1959
Very nice 73 de W7NQM ar😊
Nice Wrist and character spacing 🫡😎🇺🇸De WU1Q
She's the best
