   You're close.  "Feld Hellschriber" in German is translated to "field light   
   writing".  This is the mode that the Germans used in WWII for talking to   
   units abroad and then it was used world wide for newspapers.  It's a very   
   old but reliable mode that requires you to read it and not a computer. :)

   Out here, it's usually 80-90F with 60-90% humidity, sometimes 100% at that   
   time of year for Field Day.  It's fun to go out to all the sites but I   
   generally melt at that temperature and humidity (being from Southern   
   California) so I will stay home and work 1D all night long.
