THE MORSE TELEGRAPH CLUB,
INC. was founded at Los Angeles, Calif. in April, 1942 to perpetuate the
knowledge and traditions of telegraphy and American Morse Code, to foster and
maintain friendship among telegraphers and to honor Samuel Finley Breese Morse
for his invaluable contribution to society.
The club was reorganized in January, 1973 in Illinois
with the Grand Chapter at Chicago and local chapters throughout the U.S. and
Canada. Annually at a banquet meeting on the last Saturday of April, each
chapter commemorates Prof. Morse’s birthday, April 27, 1791. At these
affairs local telegraph circuits usually provide "background music,"
and in some cases intercity circuits are established by means of adaptive
equipment which enables telephone circuits to be used as Morse
"wires."
Membership is open to anyone that has an interest in the history and technology of the telegraph.
