Magnetic Telegraph Company
Here is a document too large to attach but one of interest regarding the Magnetic Telegraph Company.
It
is large data block but has some details I find interesting; e.g. the office
calls used.

Proposed Venus rover communicating via Morse Code?
This is an excerpt from today's email from Sky and Telescope:
"Communication without traditional electronics will require some creativity.
AREE engineers are investigating an old-fashioned solution: Morse code.
If an orbiter accompanies the rover to Venus, it could regularly ping the rover using radar.
A rotating shutter in front of the rover's radar target could then be opened and closed to send a Morse code signal back to the orbiter."
Conventional electronics don't last too long in the Venusian environment.
Here's a link to the whole article:

Welcome to Yoo Ki-Joon.
The
Side Swiper Net is a lot of fun.
I used to sail on the USA Pacific Coast and I joined in to the Side Swiper Net which was held by our founder, Bob Shrader, W6BNB.
You can see two of his sideswipers here:
You can read some of his history here:
He was an excellent operator and my old friend and fellow merchant marine radio officer.
Welcome aboard!
