[CW] Fake or Real? MGY

[Jude DaShiell]

If a wire recorder and a wire telegraph recorder were available since
the 1800's, those weren't very qualified experts.  The stuff on the wire
recorder is interesting to me since the first mention of that technology
I heard about was on a broadcast of the D-Day Invasion when a
correspondent going onto Omaha Beach with the troops mentioned he was
using a wire recorder to do the report.  With the improvements in wire
production made by manufacturers since the 1800's I'm wondering if
better wire exists that could be used in one of those recorders if
finding one of those recorders is even possible these days.  Reel to
Reel tape I found better than casettes while I used that technology but
I never had exposure to wire recorders.

In that the so called experts stated they did not know of a devise that could record radio signals. Maybe if you have access to that it will indicate fake because it was four or five years after Titanic. Years ago I interviewed some of the old operators that were operating around then. I find it hard to believe there was a recording and the Cape Race VCE logs on Titanic were lost in the fire when the station burned in 1919.
