Loomis Day, which falls on May 30 each year, celebrates Mahlon Loomis and his important discoveries relating to telegraphic communication. Loomis, who was an American dentist, was fascinated by the Earth’s atmosphere and how it could be used for long-distance wireless communication. While most of his experiments failed and/or have been discredited, one of his most prominent experiments led to the accidental discovery of primitive radio technology. This wireless technology was further developed and refined to provide the modern world with WiFi, TV, radio, telephone, etc. So, even if it was accidental, the world has Mahlon Loomis to thank for the wireless telegraphic technologies we all can enjoy today.
Kokoonnutaan torstai-illan ratoksi ilmoitettuihin koordinaatteihin harjoittamaan leppoisaa geolöpinää. Miittipaikalta on jonkinlainen näköyhteys ainakin pariin langattomaan viestintään käytettävään rakennelmaan. Alue on avoin, joten vallitsevan säätilan vaikutus miittailumukavuuteen on syytä ottaa huomioon. Tervetuloa!
