Why would someone send "SOS" on longwve - that is not an emergency frequency
anyone monitors ?

I don't know? I just heard something that sounded like it. Probably just a
beacon. I,m not hip to long wave.

Ah, a beacon may be exactly it. I can't read morse code, so as interesting
as they are I don't know where they are S.

Well, if you can copy down the dots and dashes and look up a few letters you can
use the following site:

http://frodo.bruderhof.com/ka2qpg/

Note that further down on that page is a site to look up US beacons.

Dots and dashes are the crux of my quandary. It gets hard to tell which is a
"dot" and which is a "dash" s. BTW, they come in very here and with good
strength. Thanks for the reference.
