Title: Interpreting Forty Rod
Post by: Joyce (AnnieLee) on July 06, 2005, 10:38:53 AM
And so, Forty Rod went on a posting spree last night, taking out his elipses and scattering them hither and yon. Just what do those three dots mean? Is it a mystery for the ages?

Here's my interpretation of them:

"..." means "I am still interested in this subject but don't have anything to add at the moment. In hopes that someone else will continue this subject, I am sending it back to the top so more people will see it."

Anyone else have an interpretation for them?

AnnieLee, gonna start calling Forty Fonzai Forty Dotdotdot. :D

Thank you for your interpretation Annie Lee.  I was wondering about them little dots myself and was hoping they were a postive gesture.  ???

Dang, are there people who get paid for being a psycho? That'd be a cool job. "Hey, lookit me, I'm a professional bozo on the bus!

I'll happily add another guess, Forty Dotdotdot: you were bored out of your gourd? Okie, but why some posts and not others?

An opinion is what a person believes to be so.

  As I look for my Boy Scout manuel to refreshing my Morris code skills, answer this for me. Does anyone commerically use morse code these days?
Title: Re: Interpreting Forty Rod
Post by: Delmonico on July 10, 2005, 01:20:10 PM
I think it is still used some in the so called 3rd world countries.  Also as a side note the code used by RR's and Western Union is slightly different than what was used by rodio operators.

I believe the correct term for the telagraph code is Morse code and the term for the other is International Morse Code.
Title: Re: Interpreting Forty Rod
Post by: litl rooster on July 10, 2005, 03:08:30 PM
Delmonico you again are right it is Morse not Morris....It's been years sence I've seen much more than a shot on an old Western, using it.  I believe theRR's now use Motorola's(Sp?)
Title: Re: Interpreting Forty Rod
Post by: Delmonico on July 10, 2005, 03:51:58 PM
The reason Amatur Radio opperators are/were required to learn code was that in case of evergency it it easier to jury rig a code trasmitter than a voice one.  Also it is easier to read code than voice if the signal is weak.
