RAIN HAMCAST EPISODE #56 2021-XII-11
When you were knee high to a grasshopper, did you undergo a game-changing experience that shaped your future career?
From the introduction to The RAIN HamCast, Episode #56:
"Tomas Hood/NW7US did. Tomas has been a shortwave enthusiast since 1973. He was first licensed as a ham in 1990 at age 25."
"In the mid 1990s Tomas launched the first civilian space weather propagation website, http://HFRadio.org, which later spawned https://SunSpotWatch.com. His https://NW7US.us has been up and running since June, 1999. Tomas has contributed to the Space Weather Propagation column in CQ magazine for over 20 years, and for Spectrum Monitor since 2014."
"A product of the Pacific northwest, Tomas resides today in Fayetteville, OH. RAIN's Hap Holly/KC9RP spoke with Tomas recently about Solar Cycle 25 and the game-changing afternoon Tomas experienced in 1973 at age 8 (Read more about this, at https://blog.nw7us.us/)."
Mentioned in ...
Morse Code Day on April 27 (every year) honors one of the inventers of the Morse code, Samuel Morse, who was born on this day in 1791.
Samuel Finley Breese Morse (April 27, 1791 – April 2, 1872) was an American inventor and painter. After having established his reputation as a portrait painter, in his middle age Morse contributed to the invention of a single-wire telegraph system based on European telegraphs. He was a co-developer of Morse code and helped to develop the commercial use of telegraphy.
Alfred Vail developed the dot-dash structure and Leonard Gale along with Vail was instrumental in developing the mechanical receiving apparatus for code.
Samuel Morse though gets most of the credit because of his work in promoting this code as a viable means of communication, that is still used now. Amateur radio is one of the communities in which Morse code is popular and in daily use.
