The recent film "Lincoln" [President Lincoln during the US Civil War]
had a couple of scenes in the "telegraph room." The ham group that
found and supplied the telegraph equipment posted to some list I'm on
the story about making it all period-authentic. Really interesting.
Wireless hadn't been invented.

It always amazes me, how these high flying film people can get it so wrong.
Whenever Ham radio is featured. It's either too corny for words or, as
noted previously totally inappropriate equipment, eg receivers being used
as transmitters and tuning the RX with the PA tune etc etc, not to mention
absurd operating practices and language.
