Old school indeed. Can't remember any of it from scouting days. Only really used it once for badge after much practicing. Scout master, Korean War Marine vet. had our little troop positioned for a message relay back to him. Will never forget the message though, "chinks crossg yalu"

I was a Morse Op, but that was 35 years ago. I’m still good unless you throw in special characters.
