"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."

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.

HUH? Morse is Morse regardless if it is done with a key, a Navy ship's
lamp, a flashlight, or it is pecked out with a hammer or stick!! ... ---
....! It DID save someone's life and a sinking boat...well, maybe not the
boat!

If someone taps out code, it may not be Continuous Wave Telegraphy, but it
is still the same principle.

Oh my! You really outdid yourself with that one! And my Mom? Wow, she's 79.
Dude must really want some company.

The hell with CW. Let's all learn binary code and use it instead. Hell,
we'll even be digital then!

Arguing with Mark in the Dark futile. Only do it if you have nothing
better to do.

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.
