This is some good listening!
K1IG, George Allison, is one interesting person… career Navy… at one point he was running all the Navy communications stations around the world! He is interviewed in a QSO Today podcast (84 minutes). They talk about his life story with radio… and more: https://www.qsotoday.com/podcasts/k1ig.
Notes:
Starting at about 41 minutes in he talks about radio experiences during his career... about his time on Guam and the Elephant Cage (?) antenna there… Then he goes on to talk about vlf and elf antennas, transmitters and such — wavelengths measured in miles! Fascinating, mind-blowing stuff.
At about 56 - 66 minutes he talks about the WordsWorth method of increasing your cw speed and ability to copy "in your head." SEE my other post about that!
