Bobbi, when I was handling CW traffic from Ascension Island as AFE83 back
up to Patrick AFB (AFE70) and was also bringing the old obsolete DC-4s
over from Recife, Brazil back in 1956-57, we used to use Z-codes.  I've
got a few good stories to tell about the use of the one that stands for,
"Place a competent operator on the circuit".  If my ancient memory cells
work anymore, I recall it was ZBJ.... not sure tho.

Do you (or anyone else) know where we can get a complete set of the Z-codes?
