[CW] DSW ... de K8NA

[John Alcorn, VK2JWA]

Hi all,
My info has it as -

DSV    Dosvidanya - Goodbye - Russian.
DSW   See you again - Russian,  ( Russian entries describe the use of 'W' as ' English ' .)
AWDH Auf Wiederhoeren - Until we hear (contact) again.  Ger.
AW     Auf wiedersehn  - See you later.  Ger.

73,

  I thought the Russian alphabet had no letter "W" - so what is DSW a joke?  I guess it would be DSV with the Russian alphabet.


  How about our intercept operators - did you ever hear DSV or DSW on those circuits?

    Tom  ...  DSW is not new for CW. I first heard it when I got
    into Ham Radio around 1960. It is used alot by the Russian 
    CW Operators. DSW means "Dasvidanja" in Russian,
    See you again, or Good Bye.

      Lately, I have head a few stations sending 73 DSW.  I did some looking, and this looks to be Russian for goodbye.
       
      This seems to be a recent development, and was wondering if anyone can shed some light on its use?
