I was a high speed radio Operator in the Sig.corp 1942 to 1945 WWII. Mainly Pacific area. Does that count? After discharge, I was offered jobs with airline companies, but did not want to hear another Dot Dit.73's.. LOL...al.:)

Hey Al, I was a Radio Operator in the NZ Navy for 9 years - quite a bit later than you of course, but I remember the morse code with much reverance - used to love it, and I still have my chromed 'Bug' key sitting neglected in my china cabinet at home!. I have moved on to the software world since then !

Hams
WB5AOC "Agrivating Old Cuss" Finally grew into the phoentics. Ham since 1/10/70, Extra class, not very active, have done a good bit of PSK, RTTY, and other fuzzy modes, lot of fun.
In the other post, I think Joe (houston area) was going to see if there would be any interest in a net, I think that would be fun to be able to talk to each other.

Paddy....Great...at least you are on the air. So many inactive these days. My time in the military was spent as a munitions person. (Part of it in a country I never want to see again...ha ha) A far cry from radio or electronics but later crossed into instrument training of pilots. Real related huh?? I STILL use Morse a lot...and digital to..hope to hear you one day...73....AL
