Richard N. Allen, why do you not consider radiotelegraphy to be radio? Actually Merriam-Webster online gives the etymology of ‘radio’ to be ‘radiotelegraphy.’ Steve Hanes -- K4VWS -- NW Tennessee AOR 7030+, R7(A), DSR-2, HQ-140X Sent from Windows Mail

I know I'm biased, but wasn't there an NZ recluse who came up with the concept of radio broadcasting? I can't turn up any web search responses but memory suggests the claim pre-dated 1900. Theo On 12/23/2016 5:04 PM, Richard N Allen wrote:

I'm one of them. Mark, I remember on our tour of the Pavek Museum in 2013, when our guide talked about Marconi, and I happened to turn over my shoulder and mention the name "Nathan Stubblefield" to whoever was behind me, it drew a quizzical look from said tour guide. Reading what I've read

IRCA, The only one I am interested in is the SS. I figured that the SS was probably Cuba. The vitriol in the voice of the recorded parts surprised me, and reminded me of recordings of Hitlers speeches. I wish I spoke Spanish and could have understood it. Steve On 12/23/16 11:01 AM,

Mostly via the NHP fishbarrel at 1515U to 1540U Way more activity than the past several weeks - dozens of good carriers and some signals showing real promise -- example: 702 khz. On my ALA100 (North South) there was very little of anything - teensy audio on 747 and 1566 and that was about it

Yes, fair reception from DU (612, 702, and 783 kHz) when listening around 15:30. Nothing strong at my QTH, but just audible. Seemingly lower 1/2 of the band. 73, Walt Salmaniw, Victoria, BC On Fri, Dec 23, 2016 at 1:54 PM, Richard N Allen wrote: > Not really a good
