Yep. Thanks, Hans. That's great, and I appreciate you sharing.
Mine didn't happen to me, but to another guy in the shop, and wasn't Morse,
but RTTY. Joe finished setting up a circuit and instead of the abbreviation
for "See You Later", he sent the abbreviation for "See You Next Time".
Joe didn't know that the other end had a Woman Marine on the keys, and he
came as near as damnit to losing a stripe over that.
I'll reserve my tale of downfall for another time.
