EagleInKY 14 Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Actually, "..." = "S" To quote my good cyber-friend Barry: ".. .-.. --- ...- . - .... .. ... ... -.-. --- ..- - .. -. --. ... - ..- ..-. ..-." .-.-.- Link to post Share on other sites
SemperParatus 1 Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 ... .... --- .-- --- ..-. ..-. .. -. ... . .-. - ... -- .. .-.. . -.-- - .... .. -. --. -.-- Whether I am helping a boy learn to tie a knot, listening to his hopes and dreams in a scoutmaster conference, pinning his first badge on his shirt, or watching his joy in finally getting his tent pitched, I have to say the 'politics of scouting' are as far removed from my consciousness as they could be. Whatever 'political' stance BSA national may take it has very little consequence to my service. I serve youth within the context of scouting. Politics has nothing to do with that.

EagleInKY 14 Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 A helpful site for those struggling to follow along: http://morsecode.scphillips.com/translator.html Maybe we should do all correspondence this way? I bet it would slow down some of the political rants. Link to post Share on other sites
SR540Beaver 116 Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 For all of you SHOW-OFF's, perhaps we should ask Scouter-Terry to start a Morse Code forum for you to hang out in. But then the Semaphore crowd will be begging for a special font and forum of their own. Link to post Share on other sites

EagleInKY 14 Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Hey Beav, it balances with the 10 minutes I spent creating it. We obviously have too much time on our hands today. Hey, if you are interested in being real geeky, you can get a semaphore font. http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/bitstream/semaphore/semaphore/mac-t1/183451/ Link to post Share on other sites
EagleInKY 14 Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 This thread is like our own episode of Seinfeld. Much talk about nothing. Link to post Share on other sites
SR540Beaver 116 Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 EagleinKY, I like this font better. http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/pizzadude/meloneads/meloneads/ BTW, nice troop website! Link to post Share on other sites
frankj 10 Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Thank you for the correction EagleinNY, I knew I had a 50% chance of being right, but did not want to exit the forum to find a website that would tell me for sure. I guess if I were sending out an SOS, I would have actually sent an "OSO", which is Spanish for bear. Before I sent my earlier post, I did try to look up Morse code in my son's Scout handbook. In our book the index goes from Monkey Bridge to mosque, no Morse code. Link to post Share on other sites
