--- title: thank you noah author: david marsh date: 2023-12-09 keywords: [morse, broadcasting] --- I recently received a heartwarming email from Helen, who is leading a ham radio, morse code, and broadcasting class for a group of talented 9 to 13-year-olds. It turns out they stumbled upon some helpful items in the morse code section of my [links](links.html) page, some of which they used for a group project. This is absolutely great to hear, and I'm so pleased they found them useful. A big thank you to Noah, one of Helen's brilliant students, who suggested an excellent addition to that page: https://wyomingllcattorney.com/Blog/Business-Studies-Broadcasting-History This page covers information about the early days of broadcasting, including people I hadn't heard about before such as [Reginald Fessenden](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reginald_Fessenden) and [Charles Herrold](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Herrold), the formation of the [FCC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Communications_Commission), and the FCCs role is preventing NBC monopolising the radio spectrum. It's a really interesting page and well worth a read. It's always interesting to learn more about the early days of broadcast radio. Noah, your contribution is a fantastic find, and I genuinely appreciate your enthusiasm for learning and sharing. Your suggestion was a really interesting read. To all the young minds out there embarking on these projects -- keep the curiosity alive!
