I do know that the change from CQD to SOS was done to prevent confusion in situations where signals were poor in a high noise level. There is nothing that is as distinctive as the group SOS send as one group (no interletter spaces) thusly ..._ _ _ ... 73, E. V.

CQD supposedly was "come quick, danger" and SOS was a replacement for CQD because it was easier to remember in Morse code. Supposedly it also meant "save our ship" or "save our souls". =20 As to exactly when and where, I doubt if anyone really knows for sure. 73, Bill W7TI

Changed by some sort of international cooperative agreement to SOS (sometimes phonetisized to "SAVE OUR SOULS") Don't remember the dates. Ken W7EKB
