Marconi ? who was Marconi heh heh

I don't understand an iota of your post, except the quoted part which I am able to answer:

If someone could turn it into a PDF and email it to me: gil@thisdomain.com (switch thisdomain.com for radiopreppers.com). I can only open it on my phone but not my Mac...

I just emailed you the requested PDF (12 pages), converted from DOCX to PDF, made by my MacBook Pro using Microsoft Word.app from Microsoft Office Home and Student 2016 for Mac suite.

Afterwards I discovered that a somewhat earlier version is available online at this URL:

https://www.vk5pas.com/uploads/1/3/9/8/13982788/-guide_to_building_a_portable_station_complete_with__gtu__1_.pdf

That one is signed: "Alex, VK2HAS", while the one I converted ends with: "Alex, VK2HAS now changed to VK2PRC". However, they both begin thus: "Date: 06.02.2016 —  By: Alex Ball VK2HAS".

BTW, there are several more or less free online services to convert from DOC or DOCX to PDF, here are the five top hits in my Google search:

https://smallpdf.com/word-to-pdf
https://www.ilovepdf.com/word_to_pdf
https://www.freepdfconvert.com/
https://online2pdf.com/doc-to-pdf
https://convertonlinefree.com/

I have used the first one earlier, when in a hurry, and I just tried it with your DOCX. It worked fine, except it downloaded with about half the size of what my Word.app yielded. I guess this matters only if you need high quality printouts.

Hello everyone, would you want to reivew our handheld radio? We need the influencers to review and make  videos for us on youtube!

If you have youtube and with more than 1,000 subscribers, and the important is your are a ham, you have the experiences on review amateur radios. please contact me by email: partner@retevis.com
We can talk about the details for review.

This PDF (Modern Techniques for Learning to Copy in your Head) from the Graz CW School in Austria is 63 pages long and bi-lingual: German and English all the way.

This school has some webpages (in German) with lots of interesting links, many in English:

Morserino 32 is a new multifunctional Morse code machine specifically built for anyone wanting to learn Morse code or improve their Morse code skills. Watch the demonstration video below to learn more about the system which has launched by a Kickstarter and already raised its required goal with still 12 days remaining on its campaign.

The development team behind the Morserino 32 explain more about its creation and features.

“This kit will change how people learn and practice Morse code. Based on a previous device (the MetaMorserino) and on the experiences of CW Schule Graz, Morserino-32 features a number of functionalities that are, in its combination, unrivalled by any other morse code practice device on the market”

– CW Keyer
– Code Generator
– Echo Trainer (repeat what you hear)
– CW Decoder (from a straight key or from audio input)"
– CW Transceiver, using LoRa in the 70cm band“

It comes with capacitive touch paddles, so you can start learning and practicing without the need to buy an expensive mechanical paddle. But of course, once you have learned the basics and are on your way to the High Speed Club, you can of course connect your favorite mechanical paddle.”

Radio Relay International  after action report on exercise contains useful information about QRP CW for emergency communication.
http://radio-relay.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/RRI-2018-Q1-and-Q2-Exercise-Evaluation.pdf

In that PDF I found this:

The RRI cycle of quarterly exercises is designed to test specific assets and methods in a sequence leading to more complex scenarios. This first quarter exercise was designed to test radiotelegraph circuits, whereas the second quarter exercise, for example, was designed to test two digital networks.

In the case of the first quarter exercise, it should be noted that radiotelegraphy (“CW”) is an extremely effective mode for portable, forward-deployed high frequency communications. It offers minimal DC power consumption, elegant equipment simplicity, light weight, few failure points and a capacity to clear a higher volume of message traffic than voice methods, often at a ratio of three to one in a given time- period. With the emphasis on battery power and renewable energy schemes, the use of CW circuits was the logical mode selection for this exercise.

Three frequencies were assigned for use in this scenario:

7115-kHz
10115 kHz
14115 kHz

These are the default RRI watch frequencies (QSX) for the CW mode. In addition, they are specified priority circuits for use during a communications emergency.

Are these three frequencies agreed upon elsewhere than in a "Radio Relay International" context?

Strange, there are 237 pages in that PDF but when I download it I can only look at 145 of them …

The PDF is actually only 32 pages long. It starts with the TOC and then moves to Chapter 3 Dipoles, at page 42. Then there are excerpts of other chapters, too. So the PDF is only a sample of the book.

They link to the same sample PDF, except this one has copyright watermarks on every page:
