your engineering skill is formidable.

I don't know much about spark. Was the length of the spark
controllable such that dots and dashes could be differentiated?

click short pause clack = dit
click long pause clack = dah

i think it would be hard to decode vs listening to a modern receiver.

i believe spark gap would be useless in a rescue situation.

if all the was being sent was sos then it it should e hard and RDF
should pin it down soon enough

certainly more than geting to atrue CW rig up and running on some
desert Ilse

becuase yo want to belive it usless mostly I suspect

possibly it is certainly more valueble the the mereknowledge of Morse
code is without the level of engineering skill I have

BTW I note myone of my double majors was Physics and a phisists can

So you majored in Physics but you can't spell Physicist? Right!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

i'd like to know his area of concentration. i was not in Physics, but
studied electromagnetism.

at a minimum, he would know quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics,
special relativity, electromagnetics. if he was theoretical, he studied
quantum field theory and general relativity.

the other major was underwater basketweaving?

them.
which is espressly forbiden y the ARRL in code testing

that's quite impressive, must have cost you $100,000.

you should not stoop to arguing with uneducated people.
