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!
