Boyd K. Packer wrote;
It has been many years, but I have not forgotten that as pilots in World War II we did not have the electronic equipment that we have today. Our hope in a storm was to follow a radio beam.
A steady signal and you were on course. If you moved to one side of the steady signal, it would break up to a “dit-da,” the Morse code for the letter A. If you strayed to the other side of the signal, the beam would break up into a “da-dit,” the Morse code signal for N.
In stormy weather there was always static and interference. But the life of many a pilot has depended on his hearing, above the roar of the engines through all the static and interference, that sometimes weak signal from a distant airfield.
There is a spiritual beam with a constant signal. If you know how to pray and how to listen, spiritually listen, you may move through life—through clear weather, through storms, through wars, through peace—and be alright. ~Boyd K. Packer, ‘Memorable Stories With a Message,’ (Deseret Book, 2000), p. 21
