Well, Mike and Curt have rightly hauled me up the quartermast
and sent me back to LandLubbers 101. Tnx for the correction.

Chief Milne - I recall to this day - how excited he got when he
found I was a ham and already knew Morse code. History of
a kidney stone a few years before kept me out. They said "I'd
be working in an embassy in Paris". Well, I suppose that
was 50 % correct. Maybe the embassy in Maputo. No promises.

Speaking of Morse code I heard W9WI Saturday night on 40 CW.
Doug are you on this list? It was during the "Georgia QSO party"
