Well I guess I'd better go out and lower the tower now instead of waiting
until 2230 like I did Wed. night.

It's a bit challenging doing it in the dark.

And then a little later I'll disconnect all the antennas here in the shack.

We are under a severe T-storm Watch until 10:00 PM.

But there is a nice opening on 6M right now.

Subject: [HCARC] Marconi Radio to be salvaged from Titanic
Message-ID: <CAG7dKFGV-GR0-C6HcnYFn-yhzK8WS5BtN_SNwxg3Fmp0wfUQuA@mail.gmail.com>

This is from the latest Popular Mechanics magazine

*Salvagers Plan to Pry Open the Titanic to Retrieve This Treasure*

*BY CAROLINE DELBERT
<https://www.popularmechanics.com/author/224127/caroline-delbert/>*

MAY 21, 2020

?         After a court battle, a salvage group plans to retrieve a
priceless Marconi radiotelegraph
<https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/legal-issues/explorers-can-take-titanics-marconi-telegraph-cutting-into-wreck-for-first-time/2020/05/19/bbe39b70-8a47-11ea-8ac1-bfb250876b7a_story.html>
from
the wreck of the Titanic.

?         International law allows for retrieval of artifacts that are in
danger of deteriorating
<https://www.popularmechanics.com/about/a28773634/deteriorating-titanic/>.

?         Marconi's radiotelegraph was the first way to send wireless
messages to and from ships on the ocean.

A judge in Virginia has ruled that a designated salvage company can open up
the hull
<https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/legal-issues/explorers-can-take-titanics-marconi-telegraph-cutting-into-wreck-for-first-time/2020/05/19/bbe39b70-8a47-11ea-8ac1-bfb250876b7a_story.html>
of
the RMS *Titanic* to retrieve a valuable piece of equipment: an original
Marconi radiotelegraph. And as it has for over a century, the wreck of the
*Titanic* continues to inspire strong opinions and deep curiosity.

Is it right to open up what amounts to a mass grave to loot what?s inside?
Does the technological significance of that loot make a difference? These
are hard questions, but even after this week?s ruling, the RMS
*Titanic *company
must still submit a funding plan for approval before it can begin any work.

Guglielmo Marconi was a gifted, hardworking inventor
<https://www.britannica.com/biography/Guglielmo-Marconi> following closely
in the footsteps of fellow radio pioneers like Heinrich Hertz?yes,
*hertz* Hertz.
Marconi began experimenting with conductors and radio waves and continued
to move his stations farther and farther apart, and after filing a patent
and starting a company, he went around pitching investors in largely the
same way people do now.

What he developed is called radiotelegraphy: a way to send messages in
Morse code over the air instead of over interconnected wires. People
believed radio waves could only travel in short distances before they?d fly
off into space instead of hugging Earth's rounded surface. Marconi finally
proved them wrong with a message from England to Canada in 1901.

By 1912, *The Marconigraph* magazine advertised
<https://www.americanradiohistory.com/UK/Wireless-World/MARCONIGRAPH/Marconigraph-1912-03.pdf>,
?Marconigrams are accepted by all public telegraph offices in Canada for
transmissions to incoming or outgoing vessels fitted with Marconi?s
wireless telegraphy.? And, near the back of the issue: ?During the last two
years all passenger ships of the P. & O. Orient, White Star, and Aberdeen
lines have been fitted with Marconi apparatus.?

*Titanic* was the White Star flagship, and the Marconi radiotelegraph
equipment would have taken up an entire room by itself. It?s not the kind
of thing divers can zip in and remove without leaving a trace.

Subject: [HCARC] First Cycle 25 M-class solar flare
Message-ID: <9ed88924-99b4-6968-ba32-0ad565280728@hughes.net>

This morning at 0724 UT the first Cycle 25 M-class Flare occurred.  It 
was a M1.2 flare at a latitude of approximately 30 degrees North.  The 
flare occurred on the backside near the limb. By this afternoon the 
sunspot group could be seen as thin white and black lines in the upper 
left corner of the magnetogram.  It was followed by C9.4 and C1.1 flares 
at 1046 and 1422 UT respectively.  Loops form this active area can be 
seen above the sun's limb in images at UV wavelengths.  This flare is 
unlikely to have any real impact on HF propagation but is a sign of a 
more active sun.  There may be slight increases in the 10.7 cm solar 
flux as the group moves across the sun.
