Keeping your sanity

[raleighnut]

I've been teaching myself Morse code to keep my brain ticking over. It's almost obsolete these days. Radio navigation beacons use it to transmit their call signs and the Royal Navy use it when they want to maintain radio silence but that's about it.

My Dad was a radio fitter on RAF Gan (literally a runway on an atoll with refueling tanks and a Radio repeating station) he was one of the guys who transmitted the news of JFK's assassination around the world by Morse Code.

She sends me out... then says when are you retiring... Need 4-6 years to do it early FFS.... then gives me jobs to do... I'm only 56.., she's 54...
