[CW] W0BMU, Tex and the Lake Erie Canal Swing

[David J. J. Ring, Jr.]

W0BMU used 600 and 300 meter spark on the barges, it was 1912 or so. I 
imagine he used BL in Buffalo, if it existed, if it existed and it 
probably did, American Marconi was running things then having absorbed 
United Wireless Telegraph Company in 1912 and later USA pushed several 
corporations to create Radio Corporation of America.

United Wireless Radiotelegraph Station "WA" at Waldorf Astoria, New York 
City.

    I know David knows the origins of the Lake Erie Swing, but others
    may not...
    The Great Lakes shipping season is summer time.  The 2-3 MHz band
    was full
    of summer
    QRN. To help readability the ops used extra long dashes that would be
    readable compared to
    the short blips of dots that could be lost by a static crash. KB0PB was
    fun to copy...
    The L E Swing can be very musical.
