Any takers for this convoluted mnemonic ?

F - ine
G - irl
K - issed
L - onely
M - arine,
N - et
R- esult,
S - prog
U - nder
W - ay



OK I'll bite -

It is the clockwise sequence of 30 degree sector morse ident letters for the YE/YG USN & RN Carrier homing beacon system. "A" represented North to 030 deg so if you heard that, you steered between South and 210 for Mother. They changed the Ident letters regularly during combat operations, but for many "peacetime" years it fortunately remained unchanged. If you were lucky, someone had a big inky rubber stamp to stamp the circle of sectors on the back of your flying glove.
