WYSSA - All my Love Darling

Before satellite communications where introduced in 1985(?) ANARE expeditioners could send telegraphs home. To stretch out the word limit a special ANARE telegraphic code was devised. These telegraphs were called whizzers, from the code WYSSA. Today one can still send a whizzer, but it is done by faxing or emailing the comms section at Kingston who then mail the message. Of course the code is not needed for this. (the copy of the code is thanks to the Queensland branch of the ANARE Club)
