Seems to me I remember some station (I thought it was NSS, but histories
suggest I was mistaken) used to transmit AP and UPI news stories via Morse,
making for good practice *and* easy verification of accurate copy. I used
to really surprise my dad, a news junkie, by coming up with stories that
he hadn't heard yet but would hear in an hour or two.
