I learned from Dick Rice, a friend of Chuck's at Goodwin House in  
Alexandria, Virginia, that Chuck passed away on 26 Jul 2008. He had  
been in intensive care for many months. He was 101 years old.

Goodwin House is where Chuck and his wife were residents for many  
years. She died about 10 years ago. It was there in Feb 2002 that John  
Johnston, W3BE, presented Chuck with his 80 year award from QCWA. See  
story and photos here:
http://homepage.mac.com/rrucker/qcwa/Jan-Mar_2002_events.html
http://homepage.mac.com/rrucker/PhotoAlbum22.html

Shortly after that, I spend an afternoon with him as he recalled tales  
from his life in ham radio and his adventures during WWII. Those  
stories were later published on p.4 and 5 of the QCWA Journal, Fall  
2002.
  Some highlights:
  - Chuck was licensed as 2QCW in 1921
  - was W1BCQ while living in Winchester MA
  - was KG6HW on Guam
  - was W4MUJ in Charleston while working at the shipyard
  - became W4HE when working at the Pentagon
  - Ethel Smith, K4LMB, worked for Chuck in Naval Intelligence

Dick Rice said he'd pass along information on service/memorial plans  
when they become available.

Message-ID: <489B9A7D.4000108@verizon.net>

Good Evening QCWA Members

This is to let you know that the QCWA 2008 Convention Information has 
been updated on the www.qcwa-ch119.org web page.  There is now a button 
in the Convention grouping which gives details of the programs to be 
presented at the convention with times indicated.  This information was 
?hidden? in the Info Updates section until today.

I would like to remind you also that Convention Registrations can be 
updated to add features not checked off with your initial registration. 
  If, for example, you decide to add a tour or the Meet N Greet 
Reception (SURELY you have already signed up for the BANQUET!) then just 
send Barry Priddy, K5VIP, 723 Peachtree Drive, Chesapeake, VA 23322 an 
update.

The Saturday and Sunday Tours are not well enough subscribed at this 
point to insure that they will be running.  We will need several more 
registrations in order to pay the costs for those tours.  If you have 
already registered for a tour Barry, K5VIP, will be in touch early in 
September if we have to change the tour packages in any way.  If you 
have not registered for a tour and now find that you can add a tour, 
this would be a good time to update your registration.

If there are any questions that we may answer, any information you need 
to make your plans more secure please don?t hesitate to let us know. 
E-Mail to vic.w4vic@verizon.net or phone 757-282-1289 for assistance.

Thanks for supporting QCWA and Chapter 119, your 2008 Convention Host 
Chapter.  73, Vic

Hi Everybody,

There are two options available on the reflector that deal
with who an email will be sent to when you hit "Reply".
This doesn't effect "Reply All"

 The first is to send your response to the person that
posted the message.  The second is to send your
response to the list.

 Many reflectors use the first method which is also
recommended by qth.net,  the owner of our reflector.

 Our reflector has been set to the second method
since before I took over as  the administrator in 2003.

 Please select which method you want this Reflector use:

 _____Reply goes to the member that posted the message.

 _____Reply goes to the list.

Please reply by 2359Z on August 13th.
A majority vote of the members voting will be make
the choice.  I'll post the results and make the change
if needed as soon as I get the  votes tallied.

 I you have questions about this survey, please direct
them to me.

I very strongly believe that "Reply" should go to the person who
originally posted, and "Reply All" should go to the original poster and
to the entire list.

This makes it very easy to decide who should receive the reply.  It is
also the way it is done on at least 3/4 (probably closer to 90% really)
of the reflectors that I am on (and I am on over 100).  If "Reply" goes
to the entire list, and one wants to respond to just the original
poster, then one must go into the headers, and search for the e-mail
address of the original poster, and then cut and paste this into the
address field of the new e-mail.  Depending on the mail client of the
original poster this can be easy or difficult.  Some mail clients put
the original e-mail address in a prominent position that is easy to
find.  Others bury it deep in all of the "stuff" in the headers,
requiring reading of all of the headers, and finding where it is buried.

If "Reply All" means what it says, then simply "Reply" should mean
something else -- namely to reply to only the original sender.
Otherwise, both would mean the same thing!

Thanks.

My vote goes for - Reply goes to the member that posted the message.

This choice makes it easy to reply to the sender 
and, at the same time use the "Reply

Bob........it is routine for other reflectors users sending in inquires to "reply directly to me".  This is as it should be.

Unless it is a matter for general interest to all why clog up the reflector with mail that will be automatically deleted by those not interested.

I'm with Norm. If it's not of general interest it should go only to the
originator. However, it should be left to the responder to determine which way
to go. But why limit the choice, which appears to be the purpose of  the voting.

As WHAT should be???  And who decides???  Looks like Bob made a decision 
and that many, if not most of us, agree.  I'm sure he will change the 
operation if that's what most people want.

What "SHOULD BE" is what works best for the group!  Personally, if 
anyone has anything that they feel MUST BE SAID, I want to know what it 
is.  That's the nature of a DISCUSSION  -- two way communications.  It

With all due respects, Walt -- if it is not of general interest it 
doesn't belong on the reflector in the first place.

Hopefully it will cut down on the number of e-mails
I receive-like the number sitting in front of me on
this survey.

Even better put short answers in the header and I wont
have to open the e-mail at-all.

Everyone please think about this.

Reply

Reply All.

By default the REPLY ALL  goes to everyone, that can't be changed.

If you make the REPLY go to the list, then it will do about the same 
thing as the REPLY ALL  button does.

I belong to another list that has the Reply going to the list, and 
it is confusing.   Many messages ment just for the one person who 
started a topic get on the list for everyone to read.

If you make the REPLY button go to the list, you will have to get 
the address of the one person you wish to email and cut and paste 
the address in the TO field and delete everything else.  It is a lot 
of work to just reply to the one person who originated the message 
and not bother everyone else.

I don't THINK so, Jim.  Just click on the person's address that SENT the 
message and it WILL go only to that person.  Strike the REPLY button and 
that's what you do -- reply as a member of the discussion group.  Just 
because somebody ELSE got it WRONG doesn't mean that we must follow in 
their misguided footsteps.

Part of taking on responsibility for/with this group, especially if one 
is in an official capacity, is -- or should be -- that you listen to 
your 'constituency.'  That may be inconvenient at times, but that's why 
you're paid the huge salary!  Mr. Johnson (Lyndon Baines) covered the 
issue succinctly -- but I won't say that here.

March to whatever tune you choose.  Just because you do it that way 
is no reason for me.

By the way, I happen to moderate that other group, and I can tell 
you from experience it is a mess.  People forget, you know.

Hi Everybody,

There are two options available on the reflector that deal
with who an email will be sent to when you hit "Reply".
This doesn't effect "Reply All"

 The first is to send your response to the person that
posted the message.  The second is to send your
response to the list.

 Many reflectors use the first method which is also
recommended by qth.net,  the owner of our reflector.

 Our reflector has been set to the second method
since before I took over as  the administrator in 2003.

 Please select which method you want this Reflector use:

 __x___Reply goes to the member that posted the message.

 _____Reply goes to the list.

Please reply by 2359Z on August 13th.
A majority vote of the members voting will be make
the choice.  I'll post the results and make the change
if needed as soon as I get the  votes tallied.

 I you have questions about this survey, please direct
them to me.

Someone else has already suggested this (Was it K2GAS?
 I've already lost that message.) so it's not
original, but is there any way by which the person
posting the reply can choose the option?   There are
some replies which I would expect to be of general
interest and probably should go to ALL, but others are
answers to a specific inquiry and do in fact simply
form "Reflector QRM."

If this can't be done right now, then perhaps one of
the more computer literate among us could figure a
way.

73's,

Walt,

Where did you come up with the idea that anyone is trying to limit anyone's 
choices?

Both choices are available now, both choices will still be available, no 
matter what the outcome of the voting.

The only thing that may change is the ease of replying to the originator.

If the first choice means that "Reply" goes to member, and "Reply to All"
goes to the list as well, then the first choice makes both destinations
easily available.

Cheers, Dave.

Hi Everybody,

There are two options available on the reflector that deal
with who an email will be sent to when you hit "Reply".
This doesn't effect "Reply All"

 The first is to send your response to the person that
posted the message.  The second is to send your
response to the list.

 Many reflectors use the first method which is also
recommended by qth.net,  the owner of our reflector.

 Our reflector has been set to the second method
since before I took over as  the administrator in 2003.

 Please select which method you want this Reflector use:

 __X___Reply goes to the member that posted the message.

 _____Reply goes to the list.

Please reply by 2359Z on August 13th.
A majority vote of the members voting will be make
the choice.  I'll post the results and make the change
if needed as soon as I get the  votes tallied.

 I you have questions about this survey, please direct
them to me.

Sorry Bob, I must have misinterpreted the purpose of the voting. I thought the
voting was for the response be limited to either or. What I still fail to
understand is what the purpose of the voting is if not to select one method of
reply or the other. I'm ready to be educated.

Hi Walt,

Currently Reply and Reply All do the same thing, post to the reflector.  To 
post to the sender only, the senders email id must be copied from the email 
header and put in the To: area.  drag and drop, cut and paste, whatever you 
want to call it.

The change would be, Reply will post to the sender, Reply All will post to 
the list, (which includes the sender).

Reply All doesn't change.

Reply could change, based on the votes received.

I hope this is more clear.

Apparently there is a bit of confusion about what exatly is meant by "Reply"

There are two things to take into consideration here.

1. How the reflector handles your request when you hit reply

2. How your email client handles your request when you hit reply.

The email "envelope" as it is, consists of several lines of information. the 
original sender and a reply to: line. 

With regards to the reflector, the question is wether or not to have just the 
original sender, or an additional reply to: line to intercept your reply 
and send it to the list rather than the original sender.

Traditionally, and correctly so, a reflector, or mail digest should have all 
replies sent back to the reflector mail handler which in turn then 
distributes it to everyone on the list.

This is how it is supposed to work. This is also how usenet news works when 
it is configured properly.

Hitting the "reply" button on your email client should pick up the "reply 
to:" line and send the mail back to that address. In this case the 
reflector.

As far as your email client is concerned, when you hit the reply button (on 
ANY email) First it checks to see if there is a specific "reply to:" field, 
and lacking that will attempt to reply to the sender.

Hitting the "Reply to All:" button will send the reply to the original sendor 
(or their specificed reply to field, AND everyone else in the To and Cc 
fields.

I'm thinking that Bob's original question with regard to the reflector set up 
is to wheter or not have the originator listed as "the sender" in addition 
to the reply to field set tot he QCWA reflector system.

As it stands right now, the sender is the reflector and the reply to is the 
reflector. Hitting reply or reply all will just send the reply to the 
reflector.

If Bob has the refelctor settings changed to include the original sender as 
THE sender, but keeps the reply to field as the reflector it will still 
send the reply to the reflector UNLESS you hit reply ALL at which poin it 
will send the reply to both the reflector and the original sender.

It is at this point, when the reply is being composed, you can delete the 
reflector from the To: list and only have your reply go to the original 
sender if that is what you wish.

Mail via the internet is handled by system called "SMTP" or simple mail 
transport protocol. It is defined by several RFCs or Request For Comments, 
notably RFC 821, 1123 and 2821.

Bob, I think this is what you meant to convey, if not, please let me know.

Message-ID: <307477E0478A4F8182696E5B3FDEDA6C@bhb33e2e9068b2>

    Sometimes lexicographers commit gross errors in tracing the origin of words in common use in the English Language. So I believe it is with their opinion as to the derivation of "OK" or "okay." For if you look it up in your copy of "Webster's" dictionary you will find that it is attributed to "Old Kindernook" a nickname for Martin Van Buren or the club that was established to support his candidacy for president (O.K. Club) in the 1836 election. (He served from 1837 to 1841 before Morse's telegraph became the popular method of communication.) or to a corruption of "all correct" [oll korrect] used as a telegraph abbreviation.
    I strongly disagree with that My reasoning is as follows:
        First of all, we must realize that the original "Morse" code (invented by Alfred Vail, Morse's partner) did not contain any code for punctuation (or numerals, either). so there was no code for "?." A signal was invented for this consisting of INT all run together [my computer won't do overlines]. This signal was used to inquire if everything was all right on the other end of the circuit. (The US Navy later used this for the question mark). That signal (INT) was soon corrupted to UA, with the same meaning. The answer to UA was . . -.- [OK] in the old landline code. Meaning "all right." 
    For those not familiar with the American Morse (landline) code, please refer to my web page at <hhtp://www.qsl.net/w4tg> there is a link at the bottom of that page that will take you to my article "A Brief History of the Telegraph" with addenda.

Hi gang,

I'm a bit on the slow side, so I may be repeating the obvious.

According to the QCWA website, there was a recount which ended July 31st.
This was probably automatic, as the margin between Presidential candidates
was so narrow.  Below are the results.  Congratulations, again, to Bob on
winning the recount, this time by 39 votes.

Harvey.....from this old man's memory......Navy and Marine Corps radio 
operators used "INT" preceding a query or question to indicate 
"interrogatory" .
We did not use landline telegraph so I cant comment on that.

    Sometimes lexicographers commit gross errors in tracing the origin of 
words in common use in the English Language. So I believe it is with their 
opinion as to the derivation of "OK" or "okay." For if you look it up in 
your copy of "Webster's" dictionary you will find that it is attributed to 
"Old Kindernook" a nickname for Martin Van Buren or the club that was 
established to support his candidacy for president (O.K. Club) in the 1836 
election. (He served from 1837 to 1841 before Morse's telegraph became the 
popular method of communication.) or to a corruption of "all correct" [oll 
korrect] used as a telegraph abbreviation.
    I strongly disagree with that My reasoning is as follows:
        First of all, we must realize that the original "Morse" code 
(invented by Alfred Vail, Morse's partner) did not contain any code for 
punctuation (or numerals, either). so there was no code for "?." A signal 
was invented for this consisting of INT all run together [my computer won't 
do overlines]. This signal was used to inquire if everything was all right 
on the other end of the circuit. (The US Navy later used this for the 
question mark). That signal (INT) was soon corrupted to UA, with the same 
meaning. The answer to UA was . . -.- [OK] in the old landline code. Meaning 
"all right."
    For those not familiar with the American Morse (landline) code, please 
refer to my web page at <hhtp://www.qsl.net/w4tg> there is a link at the 
bottom of that page that will take you to my article "A Brief History of the 
Telegraph" with addenda.

Subject: [QCWA] 2008 International Convention Activity
Message-ID: <48A866B2.2070101@verizon.net>

Here's a fun activity that we on the planning committee would like to 
get incorporated into the 2008 convention festivities:

Each QCWA member attending the convention might select a baby/youth 
picture of him/herself from among those treasured photos hiding in your 
closet and bring it to the convention for display.  We will keep a 
separate list of NAMES and we will run a 'CONTEST' (even as there are 
those among you who don't like contests!) to see who can match the 
greater number of names with numbered photos.

SOUNDS LIKE GREAT FUN!

But it can happen only if you bring a picture for display.  Officers and 
BOD appointees are included in this activity.  I personally can't wait 
to see what our General Manager comes up with!!

You can greatly facilitate this activity by letting us know if you will 
participate -- or, better still, send your photo (with caption) to me 
well in advance of the convention.

We will take great care of your treasured pictures and will do our level 
best to insure that you get your picture back safely.  But I don't think 
we can offer any GUARANTEES on that score.  If your picture is precious 
beyond saying, please make a copy for display and retain your original.

Questions, comments or suggestions are, as always, welcome.

REMINDER -- The convention registration period is still open.  We are 
still earnestly seeking additions to the Saturday and Sunday tours. 
We're close to meeting the required reservations for these great tours 
-- don't miss out on a lot of fun by forgetting to register for them. 
If you have already registered for the convention (BLESS YOU if you 
have!) it is possible to UPDATE your registration to include any of the 
festivities offered by indicating your wishes to Mr. Barry Priddy, 
K5VIP, Convention Treasurer, 723 Peachtree Drive, Chesapeake, VA  23322.

>          Finally at the end of its session in 1843, Congress passed a
>     bill appropriating $30,000 to test the telegraph. A wire was strung
>     from the Capitol Building in Washington to the City of Baltimore,
>     Maryland. On May 24, 1844, Morse sent the now famous message: "WHAT
>     HATH GOD WROUGHT" [.--  ....  .-  -    ....  .-  -  ....    --. 
>     . .    -..    .--  . ..  . .  ..-  --.  ....  -] over that wire.
>     After that, Morse and his telegraph quickly became famous
>     throughout North America and Europe.
>          Morse's original concept was not based upon the idea that
>     anyone could learn to read the code by ear. His machine was
>     designed to make marks on a moving paper tape in response to opens
>     and closures of the circuit made on the sending end of the line.
>     These marks he called "dots." According to his early plans (the
>     1837 model, no doubt) these dots would represent the numerals 0
>     through 9. [Note that this is similar to the system used in many
>     municipal fire-alarm box setups used to this day] Messages,
>     according to this concept, would then be composed of 5- or 6-digit
>     numerals to identify words taken from a dictionary where each word
>     in the language would be identified by a number. The receiving
>     operator would read the numbers off the tape and look up their
>     meanings in a copy of that dictionary. Vail, it is said, was the
>     one who dissuaded Morse from that idea in favor of a code where
>     each letter would be represented by a unique combination of "dots"
>     and "dashes" -- the latter just a longer mark on the tape. It is
>     quite possible also that it was Vail and not Morse who designed
>     that code which now bears Morse's name. The first version of the
>     code was like that of our International Morse code as used today,
>     but without numerals or punctuation. It is not clear how that
>     version was exported to Europe: perhaps in Morse's unsuccessful
>     "sales" trip to France and England in 1840. But it is certain that
>     when the telegraph began to be used in Europe, that was the version
>     that they used from the very beginning and it became known as the
>     Continental Morse Code. The numerals and punctuation were
>     apparently added there, also.
>          Before the 1844 successful demonstration a different version
>     of the Morse Code was developed, possibly by Vail, but that is not
>
>     certain. In this newer version the letters were represented by
>     combinations of dots, dashes and spaces. This version was somewhat
>     faster than the original version. It is the one that Morse used in
>     his 1844 demonstration message. That version was used on all
>     telegraph lines in the United States and later in Central and South
>     America and it became known as the American Morse Code. At this
>     point I would like to dispel a common notion among radio folks:
>     that there is some reason that the American Morse, the landline
>     code, can only be used on a sounder and the Continental Morse (now
>     the International Morse Code) can only be used with on-and-off
>     tones. This is not the case, either code can be used for either
>     mode.
>          As I stated before, Morse had no idea that operators could
>     learn to read (and make copy) of these dot-and-dash signals by ear.
>     It was only after the tape machines had been in use for some time
>     that it was found that the operators were writing the messages by
>     sound rather than reading the marks off the tape, reading the
>     clicks of the receiving apparatus by ear! Soon a device called a
>     sounder became the receiving device of choice in place of the
>     moving tape machines that Morse and his associates had labored so
>     long to perfect.
>          To the untrained ear the telegraph sounder makes only a series
>     of oddly spaced clicks and clacks, however, the skilled operator
>     can easily distinguish between the "down-click" and the "up-clack"
>     and thereby sense the length of the bit to determine whether it be
>     a dot or a dash (or a long dash).
>          In the telegraph's heyday a skilled operator could make copy
>     on a "mill" (typewriter) at 40 WPM or better, right through the
>     noise those old mechanical typewriters made themselves. In
>     addition, by using Phillip's Code (a set of abbreviations developed
>     for that purpose) actual speeds up to well over 55 WPM were
>     commonly achieved. When using the Phillip's Code the receiving
>     operator would "fill" the text, that is he would spell out the
>     words in full that came over the wire in abbreviated form. This
>     mode was used by the various news-wire services in sending "press."
>     (news items) The public-correspondence telegraph companies, such as
>     Western Union and Postal Telegraph, however, spelled everything out
>     in full in the texts of messages, including numerals and
>     punctuation, a practice continued to this day in amateur-radio
>     message handling.
