Your couple of lines don't even begin to resemble Foghorn. A couple of lines
is a correction. Four or five lengthy paragraphs on the workings of either
aircraft would be windy pontification.

You'd also need to include a statement to the effect that neither aircraft is
equipped with a J38.

Ahem, "J-38" was dropped as a nomenclature in the military yarns
and yarns ago. [try "KY-nnn" and I don't mean jelly... :-) ]

Are they equipped for ANY kind of morse code radio reception? NO.
The military stopped using "BFOs" or equivalent in the 225-400
MHz military band transceivers years and years ago.

You can check that out with the "military veterans" in here, such
as Miccolis, Coslo, and Kelly. :-) [ESPECIALLY Kelly...]

Okay, let us see a show of hands...shall we load Heil on an
F-16 hardpoint and drop him on Guinea-Bisseau as a "radio
CARE consultant" for that fourth-world nation? :-) We can
tape on a wind-up key a la the South African company's
wind-up radio...Ginnea-Bisseauians can "wind him up" and
he can establish SS to spice up the cashew nut production.

Meanwhile, we can all sit back and watch the Mighty Macho
Murine Morseman, Stebie, on his ever-vigilant Mouth-Off For
Freedom! Must be a real wanna-be case there...his fast-attack
CAP patrol plane can't cruise faster than the NASCARs at
Daytona. Maybe he needs a brain bucket with fancy legends
painted all over it? [goes well with that pudgy poopy suit
in the QRZ photo]

Ho hum, another day, some dendrites have been kept from growing
and the steady decline of U.S. ham radio licensees keeps on
truckin'.
