I have to jump in here. I (in addition to playing keyboards for Thomas as part of the Lost Toy People) am a ham radio operator who knows Morse code. I tried to decipher it myself years ago and asked Thomas about it as well.

Yeah, I got a few letters in: "AWE..." and then it got really subjective. I used to be a ham- got my novice license when I was 7, but never kept up. Sometimes I bury secondary "lyrics" in rhythms using morse. It's total legend, but I remember hearing once that Beethoven's 5th symphony took on a special meaning during WWII because of it's opening phrase ..._ (the letter V for Victory). - -William Mike Kapitan wrote: >on 4/30/02 10:25 PM, alloy-digest at owner-alloy-digest@smoe.org wrote: > > >>Date: Tue, 30 Apr 2002 13:15:52 -0500 >>From: William Steffey >>Subject: Alloy: windpower code >> >>Hello everybody! >>At the beginning (and end) of Windpower there is a little part that >>sounds like morse code- does anyone know what the translation is? >> > >I have to jump in here.

Sorry, couldn't resist the subject :), but today is the day that many Internet radio stations are shutting down in protest over the new proposed royalty rates and mind-bogglingly complicated recordkeeping requirements.

It's something I've never even thought to take into consideration, but it's just amazing to me. Imagine the possibilities of sending morse code messages through the radio, cloaked within the rhythms of songs. Has this ever been done for real in war time, I wonder?
