(O.G. took a run at learning International Morse about 35 years ago, but never completed the process: Like the Pogo character “I can write but can’t read,†having about 90% of the character-to sound table still in memory, but no facility with the reverse.
Later I got involved with “professional†radio (hey, it’s “professional†if you get paid, right?), where my only encounter with Morse was hearing the “ • – – • – – • • • – †top-of-the-hour ID from the National Bureau of Standards station WWV when we synced the studio clocks.)
