Write your reply.

assistant: I have a Western Union Morse Key and Sounder. The sounder does not have the
the resonator box, thin lumber to direct the sound and through mechanical
connection to sounder, create more sound. See any old teevee Western where
they're waiting for a message in the train station for details.
Both pieces are from the railroad station in Alexandria, LA. Both fully
functional, the key is fully adjustable with knurled screws for everything
adjustable. The sounder, other than missing some black laquer on the coils is
built like the key, with adjustments on all moving parts.     Works.
I'm not a ham but thought a ham would find these items interesting.

    It was once said, "what would happen if we in kindegarden relays what
someone said around the room"   What would come back at the other end.
    HAM radio is ANYTHING that someone comes up with.  All he has to do is
NOT cause harmfull interference with the big boys who have paid like Johns to
Prostitutes for their specific frequency.
      Using two tin cans of empty Campbell Soup cans is OK, as long as you
use a string that resonates at a frequency that does not cause harmful
interference with POLICE or FIRE or WPLR Rock Radio.

 This is off-topic but I feel a comment is in order.
 No, not everyone has heard of Ham radio.  Our local club conducts a
 yearly Novice/Tech school and handbills are distributed throughout
 the area.  I receive all sort of queries from people who have never
 heard of ham or amateur radio.  They've never been exposed, just as
 some have never been exposed to numismatics, philatelics or
 phrenology.  One young lady asked what good the course would do her
 and would it qualify her for employment upon completion.  No, not
 everyone has heard of ham radio.
