In 1974, I was commissioned as a US Army 2Lt and assigned to the Signal Corps. After summer break, I reported to Ft Gordon for Signal Basic training. Among the many disciplines we covered was how to teach a class. I decided to do a class on radio waves and how they propagate. After a Chalkboard presentation describing propagation, I used a small HF transmitter and fluorescent light To prove the existence of "radio waves" to the class.
I was the only one in the class with a ham license and one of two who knew and could use Morse code to communicate. The second class I did was demonstrate "binary communications" with a older LT from Cambodia. Enough of my nostalgia.
