sorry ole boy we migh help you when you fix your radio

The first thing I'd notice is that there were no static dots in front of
the first "ayday". I'd thus assume that it was you, actually yelling
"adyday".


BUZZZ
well that is you making up facts not in eveidence , another Steviesm

Take a look at your own words above. The fact is very much in evidence.

rendered even more ineffective by being very very late

Is there a time limit on response times to posts, Colonel?


Indeed If truely stuck and needing help but with a big batery Id just
send ...---...--- and hope for the best at interavals as long that
battery would still make sparks but Dave and prehaps a good many other
MMM would not help me

Why not admit that you'd have no idea whether anyone was coming with
assistance since you couldn't read the response? It might help if you
mixed your distress call with information about your estimated position.
Then you and your big battery could hope for the best.


but as you say I can't use morse code so obviously I can't mix in my
position nor receive, therefore my Only Hope is RDF, but obviously Not
from MMM like you. only folks that Might try and help me are the
NoCoders

Sorry, Mark, I doubt you'll find any help there. You'll just be stuck
with some fellows who ask, "Wonder what that funny noise is"?

which is ofc ourse a poor coment on the users of the Morse Code, and
the proponents of continued use and testing for same

I agree, you've made a poor comment.

Unlike you If I heard such a signal, (where would such a spark gap
signal end up BTW?) I world try to find the sender some help, or to
have him arested if this was a bad joke, ether way, round here I'd call
the Coasties, if I could not find a ham to help me, and heard such a
signal. I know they have RDF gear. I saw some of it at the open house
this spring

Roger. Out.
