Missing copies of Morsum Magnificat now available for free download All copies of the English language version of Morsum Magnificat, the Morse Magazine, are now available for free download from the Internet. Initially 16 issues were missing but these have now been posted and copies of the entire 89 issues from 1986 to 2004 can be downloaded from: http://www.n7cfo.com/tgph/Dwnlds/mm/mm.htm Special thanks go to Mike Feher N4FS for providing the missing issues and to Randy Cole KN6W for scanning them. The new downloads also include: The Story of the Key: The Best of MM-1, by Louise Ramsey Moreau W3WRE, including a list of American Telegraph Instrument Makers 1837-1900 compiled by Roger Reinke. Key WT 8 Amp Worldwide Survey: The Best of MM–2, by Tony Smith G4FAI, an updated and revised version of the 54-page booklet which provides much information about this famous pre-WW2, wartime and post-war military Morse key, of which there were over 100 versions made in six countries. The MM Q & Z Codebook, (in English), compiled by Rinus Hellemons PA0BFN and Dick Kraayveld PA3ALM, publishers of the original Dutch version of MM. The codebook lists all Q & Z codes in all their original applications, including a copy of the original one-page Q-code of 1912. There has been an enthusiastic reaction to the initial launch of the free downloads with over 5,000 “hits” on the website in less than three weeks. The 89 issues of MM contain well over 4,000 printed pages covering all aspects of Morse telegraphy past, present and future.
