BIt off topic but did anyone else see the foobar that the BBC made last
night.  They did an article on radio and from the Museum of History of
Science in Oxford, demonstrating the spark tx the man from the museum
tapping away the letter V supposedly on the straight key........the ticker
tape displaying clearly dot dot dash which is what was being sent, woops. 

In 2004 the Marconi Collection was presented to the University of Oxford by
the Marconi Corporation. This large and unrivalled archive of objects and
documents records the work of Guglielmo Marconi and the wireless telegraph
company he founded. The documents are kept in the Bodleian Library and the
objects in the Museum of History of Science
