Back in the early 70's I came in possession of a "Falcon code" kneeboard card. I assumed, due to the name, it was produced by a USAF type. They were quite popular among members of the Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club.
The card assigned code numbers to a whole list of things we would like to say over the UHF. Being "mildly" inappropriate we would substitute the code number(e.g.-Falcon 109) for what we really wanted to say. One of my personal favorites was: "Pardon me sir but you must be mistaking me for someone who gives a sh!t."
I saved one of the cards for posterity but somehow I have lost track of it over the years. Anyone here old enough to know what I am talking about? Better yet, does anyone have a copy of it?
