I'd like a copy of the list.

There's another one that I've heard of before: the old Morse telegrapher's "is the wire (or frequency) busy?" which, I was told, is the old Morse "C" didit dit. I was told thatthe reply for "yes, it's busy" was a single "dit." Exactly once, I had someone reply that way. I couldn't believe it and so again sent "didit dit" and got back a single "dit." So, I sat and listened. Sure enough, after a minute or two, I hear a station reply to someone I couldn't hear, on the same frequency on which I'd heard the "dit."

Is this one that anyone else has heard of?

Could send direct from Microsoft Word if anyone wants it. Should work. Anyone interested let me know.
