Navy WAVES training as Morse code operators at the Naval Training School at
the University of Wisconsin at Madison. In this photo they are listening to
Morse code through their earphones and transcribing it in real time onto
paper using manual typewriters. Radiomen (as both male and female Morse
code operators were called) also transmitted Morse using a code key.

DC Navy Yard radio school.)
