						 <div class="image-container floatleft"><img src="http://30cw.wikidot.com/local--files/forum:thread/1912codes.png" alt="1912codes.png" class="image" /></div> <p>Interesting to see here that 77 which now means &quot;Long Live CW&quot; and/or &quot;CW Forever&quot; and/or &quot;Long live CW and wishing you many happy CW QSO&quot;, way back in 1912 for a while meant &quot;Message for you&quot; &#8212; and 99 which later came to mean &quot;Get lost&quot; might have originated from the &quot;Keep out&quot; meaning toward &quot;keep away&quot; :-)</p> <p>I suspect some possible error in the table of cut numbers, the 7 was likely mean to be -&#8230; but the T for 5 seems plausible given that 0 abbreviation was a longer dah, and that was certainly the case even until much later.</p>
