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...

I'm a licensed ham (not to be confused with a smoked ham).  I'd say that code is about 2000 wpm. Makes perfect sense.

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).

AE7TX here.  My dad was a Radioman (Navy, late 60's, USS Shelton, KD7NQ).  I was a wrench turner in the Army in the 90's.

Added a gusset around the perimeter.

That's what I figured. Doesn't show in the pics. The gusset is your friend! (Until you have to cut/sew/lace it).

Since the knife was small it wasn't too bad.
