Why are they radios and not "tele" something? Because "telegraphy" meaning far writing was already taken. Radio is a contracted form of the awkward telegraphy by artificial radiation - originally radio-telegraphy, then radio-telephony, and now just radio. 73 Pete Allen AC5E _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/tentec |
