Interestingly, they did not learn to read Morse into letters (either with a pencil or in their head) or to type (learn to associate a letter with a keystroke). And the standard speed the Navy used was 45 wpm!
So basically, they programmed the Radiomen's brains to be digital modems. That would have been the best DSP technology available at the time, and it's still pretty good today.
