Re: [IRCA] My First Longwave/Beacon Log!

Hey Paul:

A friend got me interested in beacons a few months ago - it's very catchy!!!

I found that this was a really good diagram to figure out what I am
listening to:
   http://365daves.blogspot.com/2008/04/109-no-remorse.html
which allows you to wend your way down the dit-dah tree until you figure
out the letter.  If you think you 've got the letter, something like the
table at
   http://www.vidiot.com/Jericho/images/morse-tab1.jpg
is a good summary.  I'm a bit rusty after a summer of not listening, but
it's coming back pretty easily.  Good luck!!!
