alpha2 Posted September 10, 2017 Report Posted September 10, 2017 Not to worry, the trophy wife has the Gong Show recorded. It wasn't that good, for the swan song. As to the Morse code thing, I tried to figure it out, but the "spaces" are critical for anything to make sense. My favorite example...the USS Haleakala call sign is NSHI, which without spaces is dahditditditditditditditditditdit. Could be anything! Sorry about the thread drift!!! But you wandered into my wheelhouse... Quote So much leather...so little time.

alpha2 Posted September 10, 2017 Report Posted September 10, 2017 I hear ya'! WB8YYG here, but was a Radioman in the Coast Guard in the '70's. (When men were made of steel, and ships were made of...well, mine was aluminum). "And now, back to your previously scheduled program!" (Do they still say that?)

alpha2 Posted September 10, 2017 Report Posted September 10, 2017 That's what I figured. Doesn't show in the pics. The gusset is your friend! (Until you have to cut/sew/lace it). Quote So much leather...so little time.
