[ARC5] SCR-287 (BC-375 & BC-348) WW II Operational Question

[kgordon2006]

As I understand it from a previous exchange on the ARC5 forum, CW was very seldomly used for communication.Most was done by voice: AM in those days.Sometimes, CW was used unofficially in bombers (B-17, etc.) to signal the home airfield that they were on their way back.But this info is anecdotal, not official.Ken W7EKBSent via the Samsung Galaxy S21 5G, an AT&T 5G smartphone

Hi EveryoneWas there any preference to the mode
used during missions?   I'm specifically referring to the time before
bombers were equipped with the SCR-522.I checked my books and did web
searching, but was not able to find an answer.    I find numerous
references to HF frequencies used, but nothing that indicates voice
or CW.73 Mark K3MSB
