[03:51:35] <Fnord666> Evening Bytram
[03:52:05] <Fnord666> What's driving the interest in Morse Code?
[03:52:09] <Bytram> Fnord666!!
[03:52:24] <Bytram> ari sub clarification
[03:55:32] <Bytram> <p>[*] Every HAM has what's known as a "hand". Just as each person sounds a little different when speaking, each person's keying has a certain individuality which identifies the sender. As for automated translations and transmissions, the statement is vacuously true.</p>
[03:56:06] * Bytram was trying to find a supporting link for that assertion -- no luck yet.
[03:57:13] <Fnord666> Gotcha
[04:03:22] <Fnord666> Well the Stallman story is creating quite a stir.
[04:03:31] <Bytram> =g side channel atack
[04:03:32] <systemd> https://en.wikipedia.org - Side-channel attack - Wikipedia
[04:14:46] <Fnord666> If you don't mind I'm going to update the ham radio addition a bit. An operator's characteristic sending style is usually referred to as their "fist".
[04:14:58] <chromas> hehehe
[04:15:27] <chromas> is that where the term fisting hams comes from?
[04:15:46] * chromas imagines dueling banjos keyed out in cw
[04:16:11] <Fnord666> I know there will be a certain level of juvenile response at the level ov bevies and butthead...
[04:16:41] <chromas> uhhhhuhuhuh...you said "ham"
[04:19:51] <Bytram> Fnord666: YES! Thanks for the correction!

[04:20:20] <Bytram> why do they make it so hard?
[04:20:38] <Bytram> =w HAM operator fist
[04:20:39] <systemd> the terms "ham" and "plug" were used by landline telegraphers to describe an operator "who lacks ability" or who had poor or "ham fisted" skills. By - https://en.wikipedia.org
[04:21:57] <chromas> Turn off safe search before looking up amateur fisting
[04:22:57] <chromas> I wonder if the google api has a safesearch mode I could turn off
[04:23:39] <Fnord666> Probably

[04:33:00] <Bytram> not worth any more of my time searching this late at night, but if anyone can find a proper reference, I'd be much obliged.
[04:34:20] <Fnord666> (''Fist'' refers to the individual style in which a ham operator transmits Morse code.)

[04:34:49] <Bytram> awesome!
[04:35:54] <Bytram> My intent was to provide a link to substantiate the assertion made (and thus hopefully fend off possible complaint from the submitter)
[04:36:14] <Fnord666> In addition, individual operators differ slightly, for example, using slightly longer or shorter dashes or gaps, perhaps only for particular characters. This is called their "fist", and experienced operators can recognize specific individuals by it alone. A good operator who sends clearly and is easy to copy is said to have a "good fist". A "poor fist" is a characteristic of sloppy or hard to copy Morse code.
