Old TTY test messages to test comm gear back when Navy
ships had sails. :-)
If your never heard a Mod 28 teletype running at 100 words
per minute, here's your big chance!

We had a couple of IBM guys who were using TTY on their Ham gear.
It was a hobby that never grabbed me although I was tempted when my
code was good enough to get a basic ticket and the GI bill would pay
for some of the stuff. Now I struggle with SOS ;-)
Let's see if this works. Try going here and see if you can copy it.

Not a clue, I picked out a few letters but I couldn't get it to play
again. I may play with it again later. 50 years ago I would have been
all over that but there are quite a few things I could do 50 years ago
that I struggle with now ;-)
We had to do 6 wpm to get out of boot camp and I was around the RMs at
the Bainbridge NTC who were tapping things out on the table everywhere
they went but I never did it again.
Does anyone actually use morse these days?
I just looked at the tabs on the Nav Aids to see what the code we were
sending. Probably still used as identifiers on a lot of airplane
navigation aids.
