Default Has morse code saved any lives recently?
There was recently a thread here on the subject of whether morse had
saved any lives recently. Well it has in the UK!

Have a look at
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/h...re/6070444.stm

"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."
