I just heard that for the first time just now.. If that was sent by
someone
with a normal fist it would be VTTS.. Course, most TV commercials
seem to use ham fisted CW ops so who knows for sure..
If they are trying to send an M , it's a poor effort with bad timing.
If I heard it on the air, I would copy VTTS.
BTW, I've worked CW for nearly 40 years at 55-60 wpm speeds in my
prime.. I've been slacking the last years so I'm not that fast now.
But I can still copy code...
That's VTTS as it's sent. If a TV CW op messes up code, it's almost
always the timing, which is fairly critical if you want the one
copying
to get the correct message. :/
