Re: [Spooks] lightning again,...
Visit http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/spooks to unsubscribe from this list The local radio station I work at was hit by lightning a couple years ago just as I was getting on shift. We have a ground net in the field around the station (it was built in the 60's) but it still popped a few fuses in our transmitter and killed the sound card in our computer and fried the power supply and a couple audio lines in our board.

Re: [Spooks] Spooks, spies, and students
Visit http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/spooks to unsubscribe from this list On the subject of ancient long range communication there are some references that your students can enjoy. Arthur C Clarke wrote an excellent book on transoceanic communications and the competition between undersea cables and satellites. The first undersea cable was layed in the Victorian era, go figure! Of course it was used to transmit telegrams in Morse code: How the World Was One. There's also a movie depicting the role of cryptography in the Battle of the Atlantic in WWII. Enigma. It's based on a novel by Robert Harris. With the necessary simplifications, I think it's an excellent and understandable description. And the novel is nice. On the subject of cryptography, there is an amazing book written by a historian: The Codebreakers: The Comprehensive History of Secret Communication from Ancient Times to the Internet by David Kahn. On other surprising ancient uses of radio communications in WWII search for a bbc documentary available on YouTube called The Battle of the Beams. Borja. - El destrozo ortográfico y gramatical del que es capaz el corrector de este chisme es un buen ejemplo de la eficacia de eso que llaman inteligencia artificial. The surreal ortographic and grammatical mistakes this appliance can make is an excellent example of the real utility of the so called artificial intelligence.

Visit http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/spooks to unsubscribe from this list I am not sure to whom you directed your question to, but allow me answer. A lot of terms when used in casual conversation rather than for their original intend use, tend to get perverted. Yes, 73 was originally part of the Phillips code and was in fact a numeric. But no where, ANYWHERE, is it written that one should not use it in the pural even if the literal translation would mean something like, Best, Best Regards or what have you. And, I believe, that fact that Maxim himself used it that way is indicative that it is in fact, OK, to be used in such a manner and has been for 100+ years now. 73 - Bill KA8VIT On June 23, 2014 at 10:13 AM Ernie Rice ranger2...@gmail.com wrote: Really?
