Evening Phil Dragoo

Thanks for the info on the Cornell WW-II Foxhole Radio.

LOL! I bet McGuyver could do it too. :-)

If all goes well, maybe it'll be Jar-O-Fat in a box soon.

You have a telegraph system too?

Yep. All of the phone wiring in the house is CAT 5 cabling. The cable has 8 wires in it. The computers use 4 wires, the telephone 2 wires, leaving 2 spares. I used the spares for our telegraph. Spiderboy and I each have a send/receive station. They're wired up so the can operate stand alone for practice, or if plugged in they all sound off if any one of them is keyed.

Spiderboy had to take an item beginning with "T" for show and tell friday. Wanna guess what he took? ;-)

This is his "radio", a surplus business band moblie set.

Geez, all I ever had was a piece of string and two cans.

You mean our emergency set-up. It uses quart cans and steel clothesline wire.
