As a side matter.... During WWII, the BBC broadcasts to Europe were announced by three beats on the a drum tuned to 'C' and one beat on a drum tuned to 'F; --- the letter 'V' in Morse code--- repeated several times... Then the messages would follow... with coded messages to the resistance being inserted at odd points... I always assumed the 'V" stood for 'Victory' as in 'VE Day' and 'VJ Day' Dave G. |
