Thank you @pgn 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and that Monday`s WRQ is more to your liking.

The "Odd Questions" editions is always popular - even if some questions can cause a bit of head scratching and the odd "light bulb" moment. As I said, the good news is there won`t be a Morse Code question on Monday.

A friend of mine ....was once a Radio Officer on board ship @Mi-Amigo
I resisted the temptation to ask 😇
The only Morse code I know is the obvious SOS.
