John - You left out "dit dah dit dit"

Regarding "...lol, see your email..." from John R =- an unusual response to
CQ I must say!

 

Oops -sorry about the lapse in protocol: "de KB3U".

 

OK, let me put it simply... See if you can follow it this time...

John Morris wrote...
In other words, John Morris wrote "CQ KA4WDH". Normally, a CQ is of the
form "CQ DE KA4WDH". This caused AJR to post...

In other words, AJR wrote to John Morris "You left out RE" Of course he
meant "dah dit dit dit" or DE, but that is not what he wrote. Obviously
AJR learned morse, but doesn't use it regularly or he would never have made
that mistake.

And AJR wrote to me that "lol was an unusual response to CQ"

Then, in my infinite wisdom, I responded that maybe he should check his own
post because "CQ RE" would be as unusual as "lol in response to CQ" in my
comment...

If you can't follow that, maybe you should get a different news reader.

Amazing - It must be several months since I posted about "dit dah dit
dit" - am curious as to why it came up?

Regarding "...AJR learned morse, but doesn't use it regularly or he would
never have made that mistake....", Correct - did learn code (KB3U), however
my last code contact was probably 15+ years ago - still remember a few dits
and dashes but would have trouble reading 5 WPM now
