CW (Morse Code) Translations:
Every station has a unique "Call Sign" (Mine is NB0W)
R = "Roger", "Yes", "Got it"
BK = "Break", or "BACK To You"
TU = "Thank You"
GM, GA, GE = "Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening"
UR = "You Are" (signal report)

2nd Number = Signal Strength 1-9 (1 Can't hear you - 9 Very strong)
3rd Number = Tone Quality 1-9 (usually always "9" with modern radios)
So, 599 = Perfectly Readable, Very Strong & Good Tone

Solid state baby. Tim and I had our 1 year anniversary QSO yesterday. From the same park I made my first ever Morse code contact.
