SP> Mua-ha-ha, now we've got your name. :) Not quite Sergey. I wasn't the actual creator of the underground telephone lines themselves. However I knew that the underground lines could best be able to survive the EMP pulse from an atomic explosion. And even way back then that the solar flare/coronal explosions on the sun could be MUCH worse on us humans even with the level of electrical technolgy we had back then as well. So my name is only a tiny minor part of what Tesla, Einstein had all presented as what would grow upward into complexity as technology grew up for 'us' as time and quantities of this and that became exposed to us all. I already knew about the Carrington Event of 1859 two years after 1857 when the Golden Spike was driven where the railroad lines were merged into the first rail line that went from the East Coast to the West Coast of the whole USA. When that solar flare from the Sun hit us, it burned up all the telegraph sounders in the whole USA. It killed three people sending Morse Code and put 23 more in the hospital as best I know it. And in ten places in the whole USA where it arced from the railroad rails to the Earth over the wood cross-ties, it SET THEM ON FIRE! If we ever got another one like that, all the power lines, the telephone systems above ground would be destroyed. And everything sensitive to electrical pulses in your home or car would even be burned up. Even at age 10 in 1949, as a boy growing up here confounded by all that was a part of Texas A&M College where my Dad became a math professor in 1936, I was, say it a little better, 'dumb founded', grin! Dad had taught me that though Einstein was a child early on in Ulm, Germany, he had been moved away to England. And Ulm, Germany was the home of the highest church steeple in the world. It hadn't been finished when Einstein was moved to England. But when it was later on, Einstein went back to Ulm to get to climb up the 651 foot steeple on stairs to the top and look out on the world from it. Dad taught me that when Einstein did so, as anyone could do, at each window was higher up away from the Earth, since Earth was a round ball, you could see further away the higher you climbed. Which I was taught, that when Einstein noticed that at each window he saw more and more 'spots' on the surface of the Earth that is exactly how he realized how to handle math in multiple dimensions! Even at a tiny cost of climbing each step upwards for the some 45 minutes it took an average person to climb to the top of the cathedral. At even ten years of age in 1949, when I had already been 'hooked' by one of my unbelievably wonderful mentors from A&M, Dr, George Huebner who was ham radio operator W5WQN, was coaching me to learn Morse Code. As my then whole family was hugely musically oriented. I still have the old 78 RPM plastic records from my Erie, Pennsylvania Uncle Bill Schuster that had the Morse Code lessons which I played on our record player to learn it. When I got my first ham radio license in very early 1952, the only thing I was interested in at all was Morse Code. And started the whole ham radio stuff by building my own transmitters back then as even then I was allowed in all the Aggie engineering labs poking my nose in everything. My first decent receiver was a Hallicrafters S-38 although I actually started using a crystal set and winding my own coils. I still have the whisker crystal I used then! I was fascinated with long distance contacts and was really only mostly able to work DX at night in a little room out behind the garage when my parents kicked me out of the house since I really LOVED 40 meter CW DX even all night long at times, Keeping them awake and - oh well! I had already discovered on my own that I could actually work places like Perth, Australia from my ham shack on 40 meter CW really loud at sunrise time for me an sunset time for a ham friend there! We were so poor I had to even mow the lawn of the Texas A&M professor for the Texas Aggie Band with a push lawn mower during WWII for even a single US Dollar per mow job. Just for money to feed me food as well as help buy my pants and shirt back then. As well to even help get the 'money' to help me in ham radio, I got a job as a paper boy throwing one of the Houston, Texas early morning newspapers in our neighborhood on my bicycle at about 5:00AM in the morning. My 807 tube CW transmitter for Morse Code had a WONDERFUL strong signal in the total darkness before the sun came up in the morning! I wondered how low in power I could reduce my power to my Perth, Australia friend and he could still hear me. We tried that test. I was SHOCKED! I got down to ONE WATT output into my dipole antenna on 40 Meter CW and my friend in Perth, Australia could still hear me!! Then what Daddy had taught me about Einstein hit me somehow in my head! I had a four cell flashlight that I used on my bike to deliver the newspapers there beside me. In the total dark moon night before the sun had come up, after I and my friend had said '73' on Morse Code, I took my flashlight outside into the back yard. I pointed it up into the dark sky and turned it on. I looked up how far into the sky my adjusted long beam light could be seen! Not very far. It hit me again and I almost collapsed onto the lawn! WOW! If that's the distance that one watt of light beam goes, even given how far anyone could see it at a maximum from far way and even my ONE WATT Morse Code 40 meter Radio wave signal could be heard in Australia, half way around the world.. There has to be really something about the Heavans, a Power and Future Way bigger than all humans are really in control of. Plus as things like radio, nuclear power, electical generators, fuel of all kinds, agricultural farms, airplanes, ammunition .. whatever. Especially that even though I am using only ONE WATT of power on my 40 meter CW station and thousands of miles everywher from me,, Even at the right time IF NEEDED IN AN EMERGENCY .. Even a hundred thousand humans could hear a needed message for survival. To survive being poked in the side or rear and having things stolen from them even. And as I had learned even from before then from people of the many different cultures and races of humans here around Texas A&M College.. My job and the real goal of all the human tribe is to put forward the most possible options for ALL human beings. So that all of us all the way into the future can have the best opportunity in life. It's OK to earn a profit. But you must not lie, cheat and steal from others or try to force them, hurt them or kill them to take away their possible future. There is even more than the fourth dimension in life. Look upward and around you. It's really true. Mike Luther as N117C at 1:117/100 --- * Origin: BV HUB CLL(979)696-3600 (1:117/100) .
