The phrase is actually "Bens Best Bent Wire"......probably the most rhythmic
phrase I've ever heard.
But.....that was back in the heyday of the BUG. It sounds better with
just a touch of
"swing". There are other words and phrases that bring back the Morse
magic.....
I like the word POSSESSES or the call K2UFO. I can not figure a way to
demonstrate
these things on the computer...maybe you can try them with your key on the
air??
