Danny,
Pom Pax, (Your #6358)
I bet your Dad (ex-RFC) told you a tale or two - did you remember any ?
today it seems appropriate to recall one of the few tales my Father told. When I was at 2ANS, TI., I having no sense rhythm mentioned I was having difficulty with learning morse code. He got out his practice key and after a few adjustments to correct a few things I had done when younger and had found it and used it as a toy that made noise, he started to tap.
Now this message was far too fast for me to read even if he had not probably touched the key for 49 years. When asked what he was "saying" he replied,
"On this day Armistice is signed at 11 a.m."
He said they had to send this all day, now if send meant actually meant broadcast or just sit in a hut in Denham and practice I know not. At the time I assumed actually to broadcast.
Note 1. This message can be said three ways, I am not sure I have posted the correct one.
Note 2. Due to time difference I've drawn a glass from the cyber-barrel, Cheers Danny & thanks.
Nick.
