Communication without the Internet: where Morse code is used today – in the ONT report
For Anna Belyaeva Morse became not just an unusual skill, but a sport, travel and part of everyday life.
There is nothing that cannot be described in Morse code. This language is universal, but it seems outdated. Who needs encryption now? What about modern technology? And can high-speed radiotelegraphy compare with the speed of sending a message in some messenger? But while spaceships ply the expanses of the universe, and people catch 5G, the cause of communication is alive. And not only among radio amateurs. With the help of those dots and dashes, you can stay connected even in the most unpredictable situations.
Mugs, voices, memes, stickers are today the most popular ways of transmitting information among young people. But not for her. Anna Belyaeva can speak without a word. Her language is dots and dashes. Internet speed is not her race. It has its own distances that are almost 200 years old.
Anna has been doing radio sports for almost 9 years. I was in second grade. By 15 she became one of the most “virtuoso” translators – first place at the World Championships in radio sports. Transmitting 250 characters per minute is a task with an asterisk, even for people with extensive experience. For her, it is another stage passed.
Anna Belyaeva, world champion in radio sports in the category of girls under 16 years: “Useless skills do not exist.” And someone needs it, someone needs athletics, someone likes to read and read quickly. I travel the world. I go to competitions. I have already traveled almost all of Belarus. I didn't see my friends any less. Everyone has their own sections after school, someone does their homework. I go to training... As long as I can, I will study.”.
Today, Morseberry is used mainly by radio amateurs. Sometimes in navigation and military affairs, as a backup method of communication in case the enemy will disable digital equipment.
Dot, dash, dot - Morse code did not go away, rather just changed the rhythm. For some, it is part of the profession, an exciting hobby, and for others – a part of life. And even decades later, no, no, but sometimes the fingers themselves unwittingly tap the Morse, trying to keep up with their thoughts.
