Without a single poll to back me up, the following could be said to be accurate for 1911: Any Frequency: CW: 100% [on-off keying] Someone inserted a carbon telephone microphone in the feedline between the transmitter and antenna, and produced a crude form of AM. Couldn't have been much power else the mic would have burnt up. These mics vary in resistance along with the sound they hear. AM: 0% Near but not = 0 SSB: 0% RTTY: 0% FM/NBFM: 0% Other modes: 0% VHF/UHF (all modes): 0% Well, how far up did spark go? In fact, there was NO ARRL and NONE of the amateur radio enthusiasts were legal! [NO radio regulating agency active in the USA in 1911] :-) No, *all* activity on radio was legal. Anything not specifically outlawed is legal. The radio regulations came later. |
