Every episode of the series "Jericho" (now unfortunately
canceled) started with a morse code message when the opening title
displayed. It gave a clue about the mystery of the series (who set
off the bombs). Unfortunately, at least in the first season,
whoever created the audio effect didn't have the rhythm down and I found
it very hard to copy. It got better in the later seasons.

about the parts that went our way. I am proud that our Board had the
collective spine to spend what it cost to seek justice for Amateur Radio.
If it were true, as League-bashers are wont to say, that "the ARRL
is only in it for the money," we would never have filed this suit.
By the way -- totally unrelated
subject -- one of the plot twists in last night's episode of
"Lost" hinged upon a Morse code message received on the
mysterious island. One of the castaways told his comrades that the geeky
bad guy's rendition of the message was a lie. Indeed it was a lie. I
heard the message the same way the castaway did.
Who knew being able to copy code
in my head would make a TV show more fun?
