LF: Re: Re: 500 Khz modes

["mal hamilton" <g3kevmal@talktalk.net>]

Handbook published for Radio Officers and issued by HM government states clearly what Radiotelegraphy means and Radiotelephony as far as they are concerned. Take you argument up with them, they issue the licence (OFCOM))

A professional Radio Officer DOES  write down the messages he/her receives, they are either hand written or taken on a typewriter to be forwarded to the appropriate destination person/persons. In some cases the telegraphy message is printed directly onto a paper tape using an undulator.

Sorry Mark that you happen to be misguided on so many counts.

Well said Mal

 

Telegraphy

Greek

Tele 'far-off'  graph  'writing'

Morse code actually is less 'telagraphy' as the end result does not by default get written (by competent cw operators at any rate)

Some definitions:-

 

Concise Oxford English

A system or device for transmitting messages from a distance.

 

Webster's

1. Communicating at a distance by electric transmission over wire.

 

Wikipedia (referred to by Webster's)

Telegraphy is the long distance transmission of written messages without physical transport of letters. This definition includes recent forms of data transmission such as fax, email, and computer networks in general. (A telegraph is a machine for transmitting and receiving messages over long distances, i.e. for telegraphy.)

 

Radio telegraphy   see above but omit wires

 

seems to me that the generally accepted use of the term does not restrict the user to Morse code

I eagerly await the large increase in WSPT transmissions now that this is cleared up

All MF

To put it briefly WRC07/Radio regulations 5.82A the spectrum between 495 khz and 505 khz permits RADIOTELEGRAPHY only.

I pointed this out in a previous message.
