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. National Archives photo. (I don't have any photos from the Washington DC Navy Yard radio school.)
