6 january is known as the day in which the first official telegraph
communications has been done ( if I don't miss something...)
As I see, even than it was a competition between hardware ( telephone )
and software ( morse code, ok that needs hw too... ), so will never know
which one it was more important Bell or Morse ?

Russel, I didn't knew you are also radioamator ! Morse code is not my
favourite, I haven't a "musicaly" ear... :)

best regards,
Vasile
