Not quite Sergey. I wasn't the actual creator of the underground telephone
lines themselves. However I knew that the underground lines could best be able
to survive the EMP pulse from an atomic explosion. And even way back then that
the solar flare/coronal explosions on the sun could be MUCH worse on us humans
even with the level of electrical technolgy we had back then as well. So my
name is only a tiny minor part of what Tesla, Einstein had all presented as
what would grow upward into complexity as technology grew up for 'us' as time
and quantities of this and that became exposed to us all.
I already knew about the Carrington Event of 1859 two years after 1857 when the
Golden Spike was driven where the railroad lines were merged into the first
rail line that went from the East Coast to the West Coast of the whole USA.
When that solar flare from the Sun hit us, it burned up all the telegraph
sounders in the whole USA. It killed three people sending Morse Code and put
23 more in the hospital as best I know it. And in ten places in the whole USA
where it arced from the railroad rails to the Earth over the wood cross-ties,
it SET THEM ON FIRE! If we ever got another one like that, all the power
lines, the telephone systems above ground would be destroyed. And everything
sensitive to electrical pulses in your home or car would even be burned up.
Even at age 10 in 1949, as a boy growing up here confounded by all that was a
part of Texas A&M College where my Dad became a math professor in 1936, I was,
say it a little better, 'dumb founded', grin! Dad had taught me that though
Einstein was a child early on in Ulm, Germany, he had been moved away to
England. And Ulm, Germany was the home of the highest church steeple in the
world. It hadn't been finished when Einstein was moved to England. But when
it was later on, Einstein went back to Ulm to get to climb up the 651 foot
steeple on stairs to the top and look out on the world from it. Dad taught me
that when Einstein did so, as anyone could do, at each window was higher up
away from the Earth, since Earth was a round ball, you could see further away
the higher you climbed. Which I was taught, that when Einstein noticed that at
each window he saw more and more 'spots' on the surface of the Earth that is
exactly how he realized how to handle math in multiple dimensions! Even at a
tiny cost of climbing each step upwards for the some 45 minutes it took an
average person to climb to the top of the cathedral.
At even ten years of age in 1949, when I had already been 'hooked' by one of my
unbelievably wonderful mentors from A&M, Dr, George Huebner who was ham radio
operator W5WQN, was coaching me to learn Morse Code. As my then whole family
was hugely musically oriented. I still have the old 78 RPM plastic records
from my Erie, Pennsylvania Uncle Bill Schuster that had the Morse Code lessons
which I played on our record player to learn it. When I got my first ham radio
license in very early 1952, the only thing I was interested in at all was Morse
Code. And started the whole ham radio stuff by building my own transmitters
back then as even then I was allowed in all the Aggie engineering labs poking
my nose in everything. My first decent receiver was a Hallicrafters S-38
although I actually started using a crystal set and winding my own coils. I
still have the whisker crystal I used then!
I was fascinated with long distance contacts and was really only mostly able to
work DX at night in a little room out behind the garage when my parents kicked
me out of the house since I really LOVED 40 meter CW DX even all night long at
times, Keeping them awake and - oh well! I had already discovered on my own
that I could actually work places like Perth, Australia from my ham shack on 40
meter CW really loud at sunrise time for me an sunset time for a ham friend
there! We were so poor I had to even mow the lawn of the Texas A&M professor
for the Texas Aggie Band with a push lawn mower during WWII for even a single
US Dollar per mow job. Just for money to feed me food as well as help buy my
pants and shirt back then. As well to even help get the 'money' to help me in
ham radio, I got a job as a paper boy throwing one of the Houston, Texas early
morning newspapers in our neighborhood on my bicycle at about 5:00AM in the
morning. My 807 tube CW transmitter for Morse Code had a WONDERFUL strong
signal in the total darkness before the sun came up in the morning! I wondered
how low in power I could reduce my power to my Perth, Australia friend and he
could still hear me. We tried that test. I was SHOCKED!
I got down to ONE WATT output into my dipole antenna on 40 Meter CW and my
friend in Perth, Australia could still hear me!! Then what Daddy had taught me
about Einstein hit me somehow in my head! I had a four cell flashlight that I
used on my bike to deliver the newspapers there beside me. In the total dark
moon night before the sun had come up, after I and my friend had said '73' on
Morse Code, I took my flashlight outside into the back yard. I pointed it up
into the dark sky and turned it on. I looked up how far into the sky my
adjusted long beam light could be seen! Not very far. It hit me again and I
almost collapsed onto the lawn! WOW! If that's the distance that one watt of
light beam goes, even given how far anyone could see it at a maximum from far
way and even my ONE WATT Morse Code 40 meter Radio wave signal could be heard
in Australia, half way around the world..
There has to be really something about the Heavans, a Power and
Future Way bigger than all humans are really in control of. Plus
as things like radio, nuclear power, electical generators, fuel of
all kinds, agricultural farms, airplanes, ammunition .. whatever.
Especially that even though I am using only ONE WATT of power on
my 40 meter CW station and thousands of miles everywher from me,,
Even at the right time IF NEEDED IN AN EMERGENCY ..
Even a hundred thousand humans could hear a
needed message for survival.
To survive being poked in the
side or rear and having things
stolen from them even.
And as I had learned even from before then from people of the many different
cultures and races of humans here around Texas A&M College.. My job and the
real goal of all the human tribe is to put forward the most possible options
for ALL human beings. So that all of us all the way into the future can have
the best opportunity in life. It's OK to earn a profit. But you must not lie,
cheat and steal from others or try to force them, hurt them or kill them to
take away their possible future. There is even more than the fourth dimension
in life. Look upward and around you. It's really true.
