Sounds German to me! Well, maybe the base station the 18E have to reach ought to be "halfway around the world" or at least far away". Like Lewis. Since we train them to transmit a long, long way why not test them on it too? I read that in the olden days of WWII they set up huge antenna farms in England to catch the Morse sent via very directional antennas. Commo Guys? I don't know nothing about this magic stuff.
