@mwichary Btw - just going to mention something to you while I see it.
When you talk about morse code... things like BK, SK are written with a line above them.
That symbolizes that they are a continuous code.
EG: -...-.- and ...-.-
Others like CQ, HI, 73 etc are separate.

Continuous = no “spaces”/pauses between characters, or?

Correct, they are symbols in their own right... not B followed by K. The line above when typed is symbolic of “this is one character”. I can find you a primary source for this later this evening. But again, some are not like CQ, sent as two separate characters.

Your blog entry on the Morse code keyboards at that station. If you were going to write about it in your book I wanted to make sure you knew about the typographical precedent.
