ARLA/CLUSTER: Edição gratuita de revista de Morse - Morsum Magnificat

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

Morsum Magnificat now available for free download

The English language edition of Morsum Magnificat, the Morse Magazine,
otherwise known as “MM”, contained a vast amount of information and
illustrations of interest to Morse operators, key collectors,
historians, researchers and other Morse enthusiasts.

Published from 1986 to 2004, in 89 issues, with readers and
contributors around the world, it covered every conceivable aspect of
Morse telegraphy, past, present and future, in a truly international
way.

With the permission of the copyright holder, Zyg Nilski, G3OKD, this
vast resource is now available for download in PDF format, free of
charge, thanks to the generosity of Lynn Burlingame N7CFO who was a
reader of, and contributor to, MM.

Included in the downloads is an updated and revised version of the MM
54-page Key WT 8 Amp Worldwide Survey which has proved to be of great
interest to both users and collectors of the many versions of this
famous pre-war, wartime and post-war military Morse key.

MM was first published in the Dutch language, by Morse enthusiasts,
Rinus Hellemons PA0BFN, and Dick Kraayveld PA3ALM. They were later
joined by Tony Smith G4FAI who helped them launch the English language
edition of the magazine.

After Rinus died, G4FAI produced and edited MM alone until he was
joined by Geoff Arnold G3GSR, one-time editor of Practical Wireless
and founder of Radio Bygones. Later, Zyg Nilski G3OKD took over as
editor and produced the final 28 issues of the magazine.

Original readers of MM who have copies missing from their collection
can now fill the gap with a digital download. Today’s newcomers, and
those who missed it first time round, now have the opportunity to
discover what this unique publication has to offer them, and it costs
nothing!

Free downloads of MM are available for personal use only from:
