CW as music

We CW lovers consider CW as music, and I can not help using any equipment that are designed for music, for example Zoom G3, for sending morse codes.

The sound file is here with the title of “CQ and Zoom G3.”

The sound was recorded as: IC-7410 side-tone monitor out -> (analog signal) -> Zoom G3 (Over Drive/Distortion/Delay and Reverb) -> USB/IF -> PC.

This is going to be something like AFSK operation, if to be employed for actual QSOs, but I suppose such mode of operations is acceptable for the people seeking for greater satisfactions out of CW communications.

For example, instead of elongated dash in “R” to show that you copied 100 percent, you stomp on one of your effect units. Sounds interesting?
