Has morse code saved any lives recently?

Well it has in the UK! Have a look at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/h...re/6070444.stm "Torch used in Morse code rescue. Coastguards in Hampshire have rescued a sailor who used his torch to flash an SOS message in Morse code." Ian. Boy, Lenny Anderson is going to be ****ed. That's not the sort of CW news he likes to hear. Lucky for the sailor there was still someone out there that knew code. SC I guess this means if you were in the tower others would die because you cant recongnise a flashing light on a boat as a distrress call unless its in morse. Unless one does know the distress signal in Morse, why would anyone consider that someone was signaling a problem. They could just as easily have thought it was some kids goofing off. Dee, N8UZE Good thing you dont stand watch. |
