[CQ-Contest] 100 Years ago

[Steve Sacco]

Of course, it's not really "SOS", it's "dididitdahdahdahsididit" (it's its own character - no spaces)

Just a trivial point from someone who's been spending the day at work copying and pasting trivial stuff into a trivial Word document...at least I'm getting paid for it.

I hope that I may be forgiven for pointing out that on 1 July 1908, 
100 years ago today, 'SOS' was adopted as the globally recognised 
distress call for ships at sea.
