[GreenKeys] World's first telegraph message

[Richard Knoppow]

    Turns out it was not his wife, addressed in a couple of 
subsequent messages.
    I understand, from a BBC history program, that a couple of 
centuries ago Salmon were so plentiful in Scotland that they were 
considered poor people's food and the upper classes wouldn't 
touch them. Oh, golly, my brain is now going to run wild trying 
to remember the title and the name of the actress  who narrated 
them. This was radio you understand, BBC World Service before 
they got cheap and took it off shortwave.
