"Then there is the noise from the transatlantic cable."
Sure would be, and then there would be severe bandwidth limitations, frequency dependent phase delays and so on. I can remember transatlantic cable telephone calls in 1960s/1970s (I was a small boy at the time) and they sounded like the Daleks.
That is the interesting bit: US President says stuff into microphone and we have
(President + Local Recorded Noise) convolved with Transatlantic cable = Input
Then we have Churchill in his Siren Suit with a brandy or three playing his noise LP (I gather that they were 16" acetates at 78rpm)
Input - Local Recorded Noise = something like President.
I'll have a play over the weekend: just how bad can the transatlantic cable get before you lose the signal?
