Like many such important people, I was totally unaware of this person or the benefits he gave to our country.

I honour his service to our country and his accomplishments.

I am always saddened to learn that there so many important people doing important stuff that I don't know of.

Thank you for posting this.

I am a member of the QRZ forum. I have been an amateur radio operator starting in 1988. I only operate CW (Morse Code) so I have an interest in WWI and WWII communications especially naval and submarine communications.

I was not aware of this gentlemens participation in the war effort until I saw this note of his passing in the QRZ forum. I too salute his service.

What he said. There are so many people who have contributed so much, and even when it's a subject dear to our hearts we often never hear of them.

Definitely an unsung hero and sadly probably one of so many more who have either passed away or are even still out there.

RIP Sir

Read about this the other day on the zed.

The man was a true pioneer he also held an amateur radio ticket.

Sorry to see him pass.

By the way there is a few articles over there about different aspects of radio communication throughout the different wars. Interisting reads.

Did you know at some point the US was using power transmission lines as a part of their VLF arrays? Imagine antennas that ran for hundreds of miles

Platapus · 11-21-10, 08:45 AM

And the Soviets used railroad lines too.

Pretty clever.

Heh they got the idea from us. We abandoned the idea when they figured out antennas work better when they are not strapped to the ground
