I learnt my morse procedures with the Royal Navy.
=====================
I had occasion to work some of the Royal Navy operators back in the 60s.
One in particular, aboard HMS Tartar/GHGC, was one of the best traffic
handlers I ever worked in 23 years in the USCG. I had the pleasure of
meeting this op (Don) once when both our ships were tied up at the Navy base
in Key West, FL.
======================
1. The use of BK or B K. I understand that K means 'go ahead' an offer
to
the other station to transmit - I do not see the logic in sending a B.
There are actually 3 prosigns here; 1. B, 2. K, and 3. BK (overscored).
1. B meant/means "more to follow"
2. K "invitation to transmit"
3. BK - used when attempting to break the sending station.
