[OT] CW

[Simon (HB9DRV)]

As there are many keen CW-types on this list, here's a question: do Hams
every use Arabic / Russian / Greek /... morse code?

See http://homepages.cwi.nl/~dik/english/codes/morse.html

As far as I know only standard morse characters are used.

Certainly Russian hams use the Russian characters. I hear this all the
time. When I lived in Israel, I tried to learn the Hebrew version (which
actually has *fewer* characters than the International code), but most
Israeli hams preferred to do CW in English!

Wikipedia has some of the extra characters for non-English languages.  
Also, I started the page on Kana code.   I speak Japanese, I don't know
Kana code. I do know OMs who do and can put you in touch with them if
you have serious questions about operating practice.

It figures the US Navy would want to invent it's own code ... and one
with ambiguities as well :-)
