   My Dad learned CW in the late 20's while in the Marine Corps. After   
   getting out he got a job with the US Lighthouse Service(the   
   forerunner of the modern Weather Service) transmitting weather traffic   
   to cross country airplanes. When I was born in 1931 he was working   
   outside Kansas City Missouri at a site in a Farmers field at one of the   
   old Radio Range Stations. They were used to guide planes flying cross   
   country using two synchronized Transmitters and a special antenna array   
   where one transmitter was transmitting the "CW A" and the Other the "CW   
   N" IF the plane was on the Range they heard a steady tone. If they   
   wandered off they started hearing the "CW A" or "CW N"
