| Ok a man has a sat phone, microwave signal based, he makes a home made telegraph and adds it to the sat phone. the signal sent even though he is using a telegraph with a sat phone is still microwave based, it does not magically change into a radio signal, does it???? |

Hi majiball,
The wavelengths of the emitted signal will correspond to whatever device is emitting it. If it is emitted from a monkey's butt, then it will be the wavelengths that the the monkey's butt emits. 
Cheers,
william

About my avatar: This is a smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) simulation of the merger of two galaxies. The code was written by Volker Springel of the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics at Garching Germany. This simulation uses 20,000 disk particles (stars) and 40,000 halo particles (dark matter) per galaxy. The three views are, from left to right, the x-y plane, x-z plane, and y-z plane. |

We used to refer to microwave communication as "microwave radio," since it used the radio principles of modulation and demodulation, transmission and reception. So this is a rather silly argument. Since you have information modulated into a microwave carrier it is still microwave radio even if we no longer use that term.

Just as the words that leave your mouth are translated into microwaves, so too are the dots and dashes created by the telegraph.
