The first thing I'd notice is that there were no static dots in front of
the first "ayday". I'd thus assume that it was you, actually yelling
"adyday".

Why not admit that you'd have no idea whether anyone was coming with
assistance since you couldn't read the response? It might help if you
mixed your distress call with information about your estimated position.
Then you and your big battery could hope for the best.

but as you say I can't use morse code so obviously I can't mix in my
position nor receive, therefore my Only Hope is RDF, but obviously Not
from MMM like you. only folks that Might try and help me are the
NoCoders

which is ofc ourse a poor coment on the users of the Morse Code, and
the proponents of continued use and testing for same

Unlike you If I heard such a signal, (where would such a spark gap
signal end up BTW?) I world try to find the sender some help, or to
have him arested if this was a bad joke, ether way, round here I'd call
the Coasties, if I could not find a ham to help me, and heard such a
signal. I know they have RDF gear. I saw some of it at the open house
this spring

Take a look at your own words above. The fact is very much in evidence.

Is there a time limit on response times to posts, Colonel?

Sorry, Mark, I doubt you'll find any help there. You'll just be stuck
with some fellows who ask, "Wonder what that funny noise is"?

which is ofc ourse a poor coment on the users of the Morse Code, and

I agree, you've made a poor comment.

signal end up BTW?) I world try to find the sender some help, or to

Oh no, Mark, I think that the very idea of you responding to an SOS sent
in morse, is a good subject of a joke.

I think your expounding at length on my HF operations from any DX spot
on the earth would make a good subject for a joke.

If find your receipt of the "A1 Operator Award" laughable. It must

If you are experienced as you claim, then you would have known how to
answer the question. As it is, you failed, even though the FCC does
not require you to respond to "OSOSOSOS..." or to even operate a radio
at all. Your answer falls into the category, "Poor Amateur Practice."

Where did I mention a "joke"? Where did I mention "funny"?

Satire. Satire is humor.

I mentioned "satire". Satire isn't often "funny".

You aren't funny. You had no business standing watches listening for
"SOS."

Not if you were on the receiving end. You'd be on the other end of the
