Understanding Radio Bands: Amplitude & Frequency

[berkeman]

The term "CW" means two different things, according to context. If you say you picked up a CW signal, that does not imply that some old geyser was using it to send Morse with. If you say you were chatting to someone using CW, the old geyser was definitely there on his key! In my head, I was including Morse in amongst all the other mod systems. (not carefully, perhaps)

@berkeman
I see you found my publicity photo somewhere.
I guess the spelling is GeeZer.

Dah dit dah dah dit di dah dah dit

 

[Baluncore]

Dah dit dah dah dit di dah dah dit

Some punctuation would help.
Does that begin with T, N, K or Y. Does that end with E, N, G or P.

 

[Paul Colby]

Dah dit dah dah, dit, dit dah dah dit

dit dit, dah
dit dah dah, dah dah dah, dit dit dah, dit dah dit dit, dah dit dit

Now you've got me wondering if there's a way to modulate a geyser.

Put him in a barber’s shop quartet?

Definition of geyser. A hot spring in which water intermittently boils ...
Definition of guiser. A person in disguise, a mummer especially in a Christmas or Halloween play.

Perhaps in your part of the world, but “geezer “ and other versions is an old (usually) guy with bizarre looks, hobbies or behavior. Or sometimes a smooth operator etc.. used mainly in London.

Phonetic spelling "Geeezaahhh!" - to be said with feeling.
