but it IS radio !!!! I have a cable for my headphones and keyer, both about 4

operating the keyer.......now, imagine that I add 35 ft to those cables, and
I’m sitting on the commode, still operating....it’s still radio, right ????/
Now, imagine I add 1200 miles of cable to my headphones and key, I’m STILL
OPERATING RADIO !!!!!!!
