Fab insight of you on that modern set up of the time Doug, My father was a welder during WW2 and could not join up although he tried twice, so joined dads army and used to patrol the Rainham Essex area along and around the river thames. Regards, Bill.

Hello Bill, thanks for your visit, much appreciated. Pretty sure that morse has all but died in the world of commercial/military communications, all good things must come to an end I suppose, sigh;-(

All the best, Doug

The only that most people think they know about Morse code, is that SOS represents Save Our Souls. As you know, Doug, It doesn't!

As far as I know SOS was chosen because has no meaning therefore could not be confused with anything else, unlike perhaps its predecessor CQD (CQ = all stations). The thee dots, three dashes, three dots of the Morse code are very distinctive when heard, believe me!

All the best, Doug
