   and had made use of 70 different callsigns in 22 countries that she had   
   visited, often with her husband Hardy DL3KWF. She had also travelled   
   for about 20 years to participate in international YL meetings of clubs   
   in New Zealand, Australia, the US, Japan and Scandinavia. She was a   
   member of the Russian CW Club, the Professional Radio Operators CW Club   
   and the Croatian Telegraphy Club.   
      
   Rosel was primarily a CW operator but tried to bring a personal touch   
   to many of her QSOs. Writing on her personal web page, dl3kwr.de, she   
   said that CW is not as impersonal as it may seem to some. She quoted   
   the small messages that she would send to others within the CW contest   
   community that would offer the simple, heartfelt greeting: "nice to   
   meet you again."

   KICKER: WHEN "KILLER ELECTRONS" JOIN THE CHORUS   
      
   PAUL/ANCHOR: For our final story, we turn to deep space -- and some new   
   insights into an old discovery that could pose serious dangers for   
   space travel. John Williams VK4JJW shares those insights.   
      
   JOHN: They're called chorus waves but these disturbances, first   
   discovered in the earth's magnetic field decades ago, are apparently   
   nothing to sing about.   
      
   For one thing, scientists realise these bursts of energy are not   
   necessarily limited to the earth and nearby planets; their presence may   
   pose dangers to deep space travel.   
      
   When the waves are converted to audio, the signals are said to chirp,   
   mimicking birdsong. The dark side to this sweet song is the discovery   
   that the waves are capable of accelerating particles to almost the   
   speed of light - a rate that would endanger astronauts and spacecraft   
   passing through them. Scientists have dubbed these particles "killer   
   electrons."   
      
   The finding was made recently by researchers at Beihang University in   
   China and published in the journal Nature. The researchers detected the   
   chorus waves through use of NASA's Magnetospheric Multiscale mission, a   
   study of the earth's magnetic field that utilises four satellites   
   flying in formation. Earth isn't the only planet experiencing this   
   phenomenon. Scientists now know that the waves can occur near any   
   planet in our solar system with a magnetic field. In fact, a magnetic   
   field is no longer a prerequisite: The waves have been found on Venus   
   too, which has no magnetic field. They are created instead when solar   
   wind enters the atmosphere from transient fields. All of which leads   
   scientists to a chorus of questions.
