Sigs Thread
OK, here's a new one... a thread devoted exclusively to you sigs people. The kicker is, no grammatical English may be used... commo is to be totally in internationally accepted code groups, with, obviously, English interspersed as it would be in any morse message. Identify yourselves by station and follow all accepted protocols.
Links to code sites are acceptable, so the rest of us can try to follow along and learn. The lot of you are somewhat nuts (like modern-day programmers who seem to think in ones and zeros), but this could be fun AND educational.... :) Carry on, lads. |

STFU

You've all seen the STFU poster I assume? The one of the GI with the steaming cup of coffee and the header "how about a nice cup of STFU". Something handy to show clients sometimes. |

Old Sigs Guys
Thanks (or TNX) Geoff for opening up this thread.
As you have probably seen, and remarked upon, there are a bunch of us out there who share a common bond...that of military communications. Signals was always, in the British and Commonwealth Armies, considered to be both an Arm and a Service...a very great distinction...No other Corps, AFAICR, can claim the same. The opening up of this thread could lead to some MLUers having glazed over eyeballs as we "Sigs Pigs" babble on. Not to worry, we're all on the same "wavelength", right? Note to Frank...remember having to do 10 wpm CW for Gp 2 or 3 qual? Damned if I can even think that fast.! :) :) :) :) :( |

Q-code
Thank You for the Q-Code, Frank! QSL
Now I have not to find my old one. But there are at least two missing: QLF - are you transmitting with left foot? QPM - how many days before leaving the military? I once (1963) witnessed the Inspector of Signals, Col Uller, watching a teleprinter. The message ended with QPM, QPM? Colonel - What does QPM mean. I dont know that one. Operator - Dont know sir! Col - Bengt! (AdC) what does QPM mean? Cpt Sylvén - Dont know sir! Col - Get the manual -- NOW! They didnt find it but the teleprinter started puffing again QPM, QPM? Col - Hell soldier! You know it! I can see it from your face! Op - Yes sir, how many days more in the army. Col - (low, sharp, hissing voice) Answer him: three days more than you beleive. Those three days were spent in jail.

1. when QRT 2. Using bug keys 3. With DOHC engine Now being part of the discussion :note: you can get into the handy abbreviations, much like sending text message on the cell-dog, plus "ES" is used as commonly for "&", full stops rarely used but short and long pauses are, like "EE EE" and "BT" I'm impressed :note: :salute: R. |

1835 Electric telegraph invented by Samuel Morse - Errr, nope. Sam did a simplified code but the telegraph was invented by Sir Charles Wheatstone in 1837, cumbersome and needing 5 wires and keys. 1876 Alexander Graham Bell patents the telephone - Mr Bell being British (Scot actually) then Canadian. 1889 Almon Strowger applies for patent for an automated telephone exchange - but do you know why? He worked as an undertaker! 1907 Lee de Forest patents electrode tube for radio receivers - after Sir John Ambrose Fleming had come up with the thermionic diode in 1905. 1928 Vanivar Bush invents the mechanical computer - some 108 years after Sir Charles Babbage made his difference calculating engine. 1943 Alan Turing, Bletchey Park builds Colossus, an electronic calculator to decipher German communications - the first instruction set driven computer, Turing was a true genius but a pity he was a woofter too and topped himself through shame. You might have mentioned too radio location by Sir Robert Watson-Watt in 1935 and then the cavity magnetron by Randall & Boot in 1940; subsequently free-issued over the pond together with Frank Whittle's jet engine.

Thank You Master R.
Master R.
I KNEW your eagle-eye would spot and search for anything "wrong" ... this list I found online by doing a google search for images for 'morse code". Like all written stuff ... verification and validation comes from those such as yourself :teach: :note: :salute: Thanks dude! IF I can find the site again I'll challenge them to "verify and fix" :cool: |
