In whatever case ....on CBS "Sunday Morning" today, I heard the
commercial with the corrected morse. It now says "S O S", with word
spacing between the characters. Wonder if they got "helpful feedback"
from the ham community.


I received an email from a ham saying that he had
contacted Prudential and they had promised to correct
the Morse code S O S sounds. Is the following true?

SOS is usually sent as a prosign, i.e. a single dit
between tones?

I have never heard that is was sent as a prosign, but IMHO it would sound
weird.
