My favorite mode is CW and it's a fun mode but it is never

If I recall correctly the IDF officer said the US was communicating in
"old fashioned morse code".

I once seen a copy of the "code" used by other countries. There were
"some" - if not many differences. I also seen a copy of "supposedly" the old
west code - used .......... Man, what a difference - IF ALL WERE TRUE - that
is........ I'm only reporting what I seen, can't say for sure if true or
not. It was interesting to say the least.

Maybe - and I"m going on a limb here to guess - the "differences" in the
other countries code - was short hand much like our Q signals.

Morse code as used by Western Union (when they did code) is different
from International Morse code as used by radio operators. Not very
different but different.

Because there are some differences in alphabets.

That's American Morse, as opposed to International Morse, which is
used on the air. American Morse is composed of dots, dashes and
spaces. (Spaces are parts of the letters, not just the spaces between
them.) International Morse uses just dots and dashes - the spaces are
just spaces.
