The workshop where Samuel F. B. Morse and Alfred Vail developed the first practical telegraph has reopened after major refurbishment. <http://www.dailyrecord.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2008809140357> or <http://tinyurl.com/5log7o> The workshop is part of the Historic Speedwell museum in Morristown, NJ. BTW, while Morse had worked on equipment designs and a code of his own, Vail's designs and code were what proved successful. Cheers, 73, Ron McC. w2iol@arrl.net Ronald C.
