Speakers from around the world contributed their knowledge through presentations of their work in the field of historical cryptology, the study of codes and ciphers used in history to keep communication secret. Attendees were treated to visual presentations and exhibits of encryption machines and devices used in the American Civil war, WWI and WWII. Most notable was a British TYPEX machine from WWII brought by Dr. David Hatch from the National Security Agency's-Center for Cryptologic History.

  • Shanghai, China Overview Introduction
    Shanghai, China Overview Introduction The name Shanghai still conjures images of romance, mystery and adventure, but for decades it was an austere backwater. After the success of Mao Zedong's communist revolution in 1949, the authorities clamped down hard on Shanghai, castigating China's second city for its prewar status as a playground of gangsters and colonial adventurers. And so it was. In its heyday, the 1920s and '30s, cosmopolitan Shanghai was a dynamic melting pot for people, ideas and money from all over the planet. Business boomed, fortunes were made, and everything seemed possible. It was a time of breakneck industrial progress, swaggering confidence and smoky jazz venues. Thanks to economic reforms implemented in the 1980s by Deng Xiaoping, Shanghai's commercial potential has reemerged and is flourishing again. Stand today on the historic Bund and look across the Huangpu River. The soaring 1,614-ft/492-m Shanghai World Financial Center tower looms over the ambitious skyline of the Pudong financial district. Alongside it are other key landmarks: the glittering, 88- story Jinmao Building; the rocket-shaped Oriental Pearl TV Tower; and the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The 128-story Shanghai Tower is the tallest building in China (and, after the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the second-tallest in the world). Glass-and-steel skyscrapers reach for the clouds, Mercedes sedans cruise the neon-lit streets, luxury- brand boutiques stock all the stylish trappings available in New York, and the restaurant, bar and clubbing scene pulsates with an energy all its own. Perhaps more than any other city in Asia, Shanghai has the confidence and sheer determination to forge a glittering future as one of the world's most important commercial centers.

  • Short Wave Radio
    Short Wave Radio A Working Electronic Sculpture Honoring the History of Radio Please note: This radio picks up short wave stations, but for your best satisfaction it will require a little time and attention, both to learn how to operate it and to appreciate the principles and history that it embodies. You’ll find bare-bones instructions on this page and more details inside the notebook. To turn the radio on, rotate the volume control clockwise until you hear a click, then set its dial to 3 or 4. If the radio was not already turned on, you’ll have to wait about 30 seconds for its vacuum tubes to warm up. •Put on the headphones. •Set the radio’s other controls as follows: •RF Gain: Fully clockwise. •Preselector: 1 •Tuning: 20 •Fine Tuning: 5.0 (This works like a clock, only with ten “hours” instead of 12) •Regeneration: 7 (Or advance slowly clockwise from zero until just after the point you hear a louder hiss in the headphones.) •Volume: Set to a comfortable level, usually about 4. Now, slowly adjust the TUNING control back and forth looking for squeals that indicate signals. (The shortwave broadcast band with 31 meter wavelength is located between about 10 and 30 on the dial.) You’ll should find a few unless ionospheric conditions are particularly poor on this day. Leave the TUNING control set on a loud squeal. Then slowly adjust the FINE TUNING to “zero beat.” (You’ll notice as you move the dial across a signal, it starts with a high-pitched note, moving down to a low-pitched or zero note, then back up to high pitch again.

  • Construction and Operation of a Simple Homemade Radio Receiving Outfit
    Construction and Operation of a Simple Homemade Radio Receiving Outfit The 1922 Bureau of Standards publication, Construc- tion and Operation of a Simple Homemade Radio Receiving Outfit [1], is perhaps the best-known of a series of publications on radio intended for the general public at a time when the embryonic radio industry in the U.S. was undergoing exponential growth. While there were a number of earlier experiments with radio broadcasts to the general public, most histori- ans consider the late fall of 1920 to be the beginning of radio broadcasting for entertainment purposes. Pittsburgh, PA, station KDKA, owned by Westinghouse, received its license from the Department of Commerce just in time to broadcast the Harding-Cox presidential election returns. In today’s world where instant global communications are commonplace, it is difficult to appreciate the excitement that this event generated. Fig 1. The crystal radio described in Circular 120. News of the new development spread rapidly, and interest in radio soared. By the end of 1921, new broad- casting stations were springing up all over the country. Radios were selling faster than companies could manu- facture them. The demand for information on this new technology was almost insatiable. The Radio Section of the Bureau of Standards provided measurement know- how to the burgeoning radio industry as well as general information on the new technology to the public. Letters to the Bureau seeking information on radio technology began as a trickle, and then soon became a flood. Answering them became a burden. Circular 120, published in April 1922, began: “Frequent inquiries are received at the Bureau of Standards for information regarding the construction of a simple receiving set which any person can construct in the home from materials which can be easily secured.

  • Radio Suggestions - Scanners - Gmrs – Ham
    RADIO SUGGESTIONS - SCANNERS - GMRS – HAM Scanners: Find out what’s going on. Radio receiver scans channels important to you - CalFire, OES, MROSD rangers, police. Listen only - no transmit capability. (HAM Radios can also be used as scanners) Common brands are Radio Shack, Uniden, BearCat. Costs $125 - 175. base station handheld GMRS Radios: General Mobile Radio Service. Two way radios (transceiver). Push to talk - range ok for most of our neighborhoods. Registration required – about $50 - not enforced. No test required. Common brands are Uniden, Midland, Motorola. Costs per pair $75 - $100. Be careful not to buy FRS radios which are cheap toys. FRS is Family Radio Service. Although it is also a HAM Radio, a very effective GMRS Radio, with significant range over our hills, is the Baofeng brand – cost around $35. More important than the type of radio is the antenna. Only buy a brand that has an interchangeable antenna – like the Baofeng. The little antenna that is supplied with most GMRS radios is not effective in our terrain. Buy a long, whip-like, antenna to replace the supplied antenna. HAM Radios: Two way (transceivers). License test required. License rules vigorously enforced. Can use local mountain top repeaters for large range. Technician license classes are locally available. HAM Radio is the serious two way radio. Hams aka amateur radio operators. Common brands are Yaesu, Icom, Kenwood, Baofeng. Popular locally are the Yaesu FT-60R hand held and the Yaesu FT-8800R or FT-8900 base stations. Detachable antennas. The base stations can be used in a vehicle or fixed at home.
