WHAT DOES WIRELESS TELEGRAPH MEAN IN ENGLISH?

wireless telegraph

Wireless telegraphy

Wireless telegraphy is electric telegraphy that does not have wires connecting the endpoints. It is now used as a historical term for early radio telegraphy systems which communicated with radio waves, although when the term originated in the late 1800s it was also used for a variety of other experimental techniques for communicating telegraphically without wires, such as photoelectric and induction telegraphy. Wireless telegraphy came to mean Morse code transmitted with electromagnetic waves, initially called "Hertzian waves" and by 1910 universally referred to as "radio", leading to these systems being called "radiotelegraphy". The transmission of speech began to displace wireless telegraphy by the 1920s for many applications and was the basis of public broadcasting. Wireless telegraphy continued to be used for point-to-point business, governmental, and military communication, and evolved into radioteletype networks. Wireless telegraphy is still used widely today by amateur radio hobbyists where it is commonly referred to as radio telegraphy, continuous wave, or just CW.
