Like me talking about cell phone in 1975,

Luckily folks like Martin Cooper of Motorola were way ahead of you back on 1973/04/03.

I wasn't in any position to compete with anyone, but i knew such a thing was possible, i had read nothing on feasability.

Mobile radio transmission was frequently handed off between fixed land stations routinely with aircraft and ships,

Sounds more like a bigger beefier version of walkie talkies. This differs fromm what Martin Cooper did in 1973 (being able to successfully dial a number on a prototype mobile phone and have a conversation with someone on a landline).

I cannot imagine TWA (for example) buying aircraft and talking to airport towers on "beefy walkie talkies".

I'll bet Martin Cooper was not the first, considering "ham" radio. But i wasn't concerned with "one of the trancievers in the communication being mobile*, i was timing distances passing by a land radio on the interstate, spacing of towers needed, the ERP needed, etc.. I was also being laughed at.

Were you .. in 1975?

Only if I could go and pull a Mary Sutton.

Still, interesting questions. I'll extend these to ask if *anyone* from that year fit the bill.

Well, i did ask you. Re Mary Sutton, i'm waiting on the movie.

How about more recent, did you develop and use and demo to others, a prepared capsaicin spray that did not act like Mace, and did eliminate pain on human skin that barely tolerated touch, tell a pharmacist, who quickly retired and went to work for a new biotech firm, which then , you prolly know the end of that story? Much like strtok.e and irc.e, i got squat.
