In the UK, the only 'SMS' morse I've ever heard is 'SMS' with no breaks (di-di-di-dah-dah-di-di-dit). Why would it be otherwise? -- Ian |

It appears that, for that Prudential commercial, the spacing between the dahs is longer than the spacing between the dits. -- 73, Cecil, IEEE, OOTC, http://www.w5dxp.com |

It now says "S O S", with word spacing between the characters. Wonder if they got "helpful feedback" from the ham community. ![]() --Wayne |
