Heard a John McCain stump speech today.
John talked about speaking in tap codes to fellow POWs about
a Republican Governor who was trying to get the guys released.
That governor was Ronald Reagan.
Anybody know how to spell Ronald Reagan in tap code?
Is that morse code?

It's a cipher code based on a two sided square. We used to teach it
in the original SERE school which wasn't called SERE back then - way
back then - there. :)

Found it. Here's the article.

Interesting, thanks.


And to think you thought tap codes began with Larry Craig!
