Morse to the rescue
From Media wires, solars flares could black out GPS in the next few. When
GPS is down, it will be Morse to the rescue for emergency communications (as usual, the old work horse will pull us through!). Sea going navigators can ignore Morse at their own peril. "Solar flare activity is expected to build for the next three years to a crescendo that some scientists say could be cataclysmic, causing a telecommunication blackout that would down mobile phones and navigational systems. "The solar flares are expected to be at its maximum intensity by the year 2010," Markus Aschwanden, a solar physicist at the Solar and Astrophysics Laboratory, Lockheed Martin Advanced Technology Center, told the Hindu News. "These solar flares and Coronoal Mass Ejections from the sun have the ability to travel all the way to the earth and create a black-out of cellular phone services and navigational systems like the GPS. Solar flares and CMEs occur when magnetic energy built up in the Sun's atmosphere is suddenly released. The flares carrying high amount of energy, travel at high speeds and reach the Earth in a matter of hours. " |

It cannot punch through when all else fails. It served us well for many years and can even get through during radio blackouts. Here is the history (one-sided as it is): "The invention of radio by Guglielmo Marconi and the use of Morse Code was a significant development in saving lives at sea after an incident. However, Morse telegraphy required many years of training and practice. If something happened to the radio operator, it was unlikely that anyone else on board would be able to use the telegraphy equipment. GMDSS equipment still requires training - but systems can automatically send a ship's position, speed and call sign when a distress button is pressed and advances in technology mean normal voice communication can be used, for example to speak to a rescue coordination centre. Morse Code is therefore not a mandatory requirement under the GMDSS and many Governments are phasing out Morse Code listening services, if they have not already done so. " whe GPS goes if it goes down the ships will be sailing more or less blind No, not really. They have the stars to navigate with, and hopefully a bug and a ham on shore who can copy Morse should they get into trouble. Even you would know how to send SOS if you had a key. |

But he did have safety equipment onboard. His torch (flashlight) was part of an emergency communications system, which he successfully used to signal for help. One wonders why someone that stupid knows Morse code. :-) Indeed - Morse Code skill and stupidity are usually negatively correlated.....;-) He was foolish and unprepared, yes, if the only emergency equipment he had was a flashlight. Even smart people are sometimes foolish and caught unprepared. Like that family that took a short cut in Oregon, made a wrong turn or two, and wound up lost for several days. Cost the father his life. They had GPS and cell phones and all sorts of modern stuff but they still got lost. And it took a long time to find them. 73 de Jim, N2EY |

You're right, Jim, he was equipped with an electro- magnetic wave generator, just a different frequency from the average maritime mobile radio. Exactly, Cecil! Not only that, but his EM wave generator was equipped with a high-gain directive antenna system. And he was equipped with a sophisticated diversity receiving system for those frequencies, too. 73 de Jim, N2EY |

However, if the flashlight was one of the new LED models, its DC-power-to-usable-EM-output) conversion efficiency could be very good. The transmitting efficiency (DC-power-to-usable-EM-output) of the typical VHF FM voice radio is typically no better than about 50%. 73 de Jim, N2EY |

Flatulence occurs when a food does not break down completely in the stomach and small intestine. As a result, the food makes it into the large intestine in an undigested state. Most lower intestinal gas is produced when bacteria in your colon ferment carbohydrates that aren't digested in your small intestine. The body does not digest and absorb some carbohydrates (the sugar, starches, and fiber found in many foods) in the small intestine because of a shortage or absence of certain enzymes. |
