Mr. Zyg Nilski, G3OKD, Editor of Morsum Magnificat, (www.morsemag.com), an
international magazine which documents the history of Morse Code and its
instruments,(telegraph keys, sounders, radios, etc) has informed the author
of this bulletin that his publication will cease operation early in 2004
after publication of issue #89, unless some person or organization will
assume its production and distribution.
Morsum Magnificat was first published as a quarterly magazine in Holland in
1983, by the late Rinus Hellemons, PA0BFN. It has been produced four, then
six times a year in Britain since 1986 and up to January, 1999 was published
and edited by Tony Smith, G4FAI, and Geoff Arnold, G3GSR. Its preparation
and publication was then taken over by Mr. Nilski, who has continued to
provide international coverage of all aspects of Morse telegraphy, past,
present and future. MORSUM MAGNIFICAT is for all Morse enthusiasts, amateur
or professional, active or retired. It brings together material which would
otherwise be lost to posterity, providing an invaluable source of interest,
reference and record relating to the traditions and practice of Morse. The
magazine publishes feature articles and reminiscences on Morse history, as
well as showcase photographs of old and modern devices and illustrative
schematic diagrams.
