If you were not aware of this wonderful ham radio newsletter, K9YA TELEGRAPH", this is your lucky day! It is an 8 or 9 page newsletter almost solely devoted to historic ham radio subjects, mostly but not limited to CW.
The February issue has a great article on a 1956 French movie, "If All The Guys In The World". The movie tells the story of French fishermen out at sea who get food poisoning out at sea and their only contact with the outside world is a French ham radio operator.
