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.
