...I used my RAK-7 to copy high-speed CW from the
Navy VLF stations then (1960s), in order 
to get my code speed up. They transmitted almost
continuious 5-letter code groups at 
around 30 wpm,. It was excellent practice. I
really miss those.

Ken, the last VLF CW I heard was on an RAK, some
time around 1972 or 1973.  It was NSS, sending
about 15 WPM.  They sent "VVV DE NSS NSS NSS NOW
IS THE TIME FOR ALL GOOD MEN TO COME TO THE AID OF
THEIR COUNTRY DE NSS AR". However, each time there
was a different error in the text; i.e. "... FOR
ALL GOID MEN TO COME TO THE..."  Wish to goodness
I had a recording.  Do you or any of our
"swabbies" have any insight into this
transmission?

73 and Merry Christmas to all!  Dave AB5S
