Hi Mal,
You also can lift a weight of let's say 2000 kg (1000 pound) to a height of
1 meter, with only a small dc motor from a tape-recorder coupled to an
enormeous reduction-box..
It will only take several years, but it can be done. The design
,construction and testing is the the achievement but for the rest it is
totally useless.

Subject: LF: TR QSO TIME
Someone has suggested a qso would be valid if it took 24 hours. I
think
this is rediculous, because it is not likely that any operator would
continuously try for this period of time. So for one signal to be copied
at
a particular time and a reply that came 24 hours later would not be valid
as
far as I am concerned.
I would agree that a qso on slow morse could take a few hours during a
session and that would be acceptable but to call back next day with a
reply
is stupid and not credible.
The next suggestion by some will be a week long qso!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This
is
hardly state of the art communications and puts the clock back, dont
suppose
it ever took anyone 24 hours plus to have a two way contact even druing
the
pioneering days!!!!!!!!
Not sure about smoke signals but I do not think so, they were probably
faster than slow morse.
