Summary
DescriptionFFU trx Stiff 1904.JPG |
English: Radio operator at French marine radiotelegraphy station Ouessant TSF, callsign FFU, on the island of Ouessant south of the English Channel in the early 1900s. The early spark radio transmitter could not transmit audio (sound), and transmitted information by radiotelegraphy; the operator tapped on a switch called a telegraph key turning the transmitter 500 kHz on and off rapidly, producing pulses of radio waves, spelling out text messages in Morse code. In the earphones of the receiver on the ship, the pulses sounded like beeps, which the shipboard radio operator translated. The ship answers back with its own transmitter 1000 kHz, and the shore operator receives the Morse code in his headphones, translates the Morse code, and writes down the text reply, as shown here. The receiver is visible on the lefthand side of the desk, with a paper tape recorder which recorded the Morse code as an ink line on paper tape.
Français : En France, depuis 1901, après avoir déménagé dans plusieurs lieux sur l'île d'Ouessant, la station Ouessant TSF, Indicatif radio FFU (station Française Fixe de Ushant), (depuis le Stiff), a été dès 1904 la première station française opérationnelle en liaison avec une flotte de 80 paquebots sur les deux fréquences de 500 kHz (émission de FFU) et 1000 kHz (réception de FFU). Détruite en 1913 (surtension). La station FFU de Lampaul assure seule les transmissions. Détruite en 1944 par fait de guerre, Ouessant TSF n'a jamais été reconstruite. |
