OK. There you have it. End of debate. Larry has just stated that someone

Except that the sleeper ship was sending "CQ", not "SOS". Which may actually
have been a form of inside joke, because one of the pet peeves of many was
the
too-long CQ with no breaks to listen.

Jim:

Ah, so it was CQ and not SOS. It's been a long time since I've seen that
episode, or any of the Star Trek original series. I sit corrected -- mainly on
the porcelin appliance, since I'm "preparing" for a colonoscopy tomorrow
morning!

Let us know if the doctors find your brain, okay? :-)

I think they'll find what the rest of us already knew. ;^)

But seriously, hope it goes well and you check OK.

Thanks for the kind words. It did go well. I had an Endoscopy and
a Colonoscopy at the same time, so they got me from both ends! I
don't have the results yet, but the examination was routine, as opposed
to being driven by a specific problem -- at least as far as the Colonoscopy
was concerned. The Endoscopy was to diaganose the cause of my
GERD -- or GastroEsophageal Reflux Disease. I've been on Prilosec(R)
for about 6 years now, and just thought it was about time they took a
look under the hood to see if the problem can be fixed, rather than just
having me throw expensive prescription drugs at it for the rest of my
life.

But seriously, folks. I wonder why Kim hasn't weighed in on this one.
There's some kind of tension going on between these two, and what an
Opening! Eww, that's not the kind of opening...

Whatever.

Nevermind.

I see it now Kim, the parallel that is....... Star Trek Geeks and Ham radio!
They both have conventions too!!!!!!

Only someone with a dumbed-down agenda would think that, Kim.

Yaknow, we could really P***s off some people by bringing in a Star

I'll start.

Was Picard a No-coder, or would he have known Morse?

Was Kirk a no coder, or would he have know Morse?

I say Picard knew Morse code, because of a combined respect for
history, and a desire to communicate in extremis if need be.

Kirk was a no coder, because of, well just because. 8^)


Apparently Kirk did know the Morse code, since he was able to copy the
"SOS" being sent by antique space ship from Earth full of the genetically
enhanced people in suspended animation in "Space Seed."


I'll be. You got me there, Larry!

How does SOS qualify? Most people with
any interest in NAVAL history at least
know SOS.

LOL


I'm sure that Data was a 165 WPM Extra.
