The Long Island CW Club teaches #MorseCode to #AmateurRadio operators. We have developed a haptic feedback device to help people who are #deaf feel the code. We need need help from someone with experience to help us develop appropriate #teaching methods over Zoom. We understand closed captions in real time can be added, but we seek #expertise in this area. This is a volunteer position. Contact SmartWebTester@gmail.com if you wish to help. Please boost! Thank you. #HamRadio

Many spaces in #AmateurRadio such as #ARRL #Yaesu #WSJT-X either directly or indirectly tell #blind and #disabled #HamRadio ops every day that we just don't belong and we don't count through their ongoing and flagrant unwillingness to consider implementing even the most basic concepts of #inclusive or #universal #design principles in any of their products, programs or services. Let's all agree that it is long past time for that to change! #accessibility #disability #a11y

Hey to all my fellow #AmateurRadio operators excited about the new #Yaesu radio. Years ago, Yaesu told #blind #HamRadio ops that they were no longer adding #accessibility features to their rigs because there weren't enough of us to justify the cost. This is tantamount to saying blind hams just don't count. Yaesu is a bad company with bad people at the top, so I am asking all of you to please think about your fellow blind hams before plunking down your hard earned money to support their behavior.
