Would anyone answer?

Comment comment by mwhite on 10 May 2005

Am I the only one who has always wanted to learn Morse Code in case I get trapped in some tiny, confined, air tight space somewhere with my oxygen running out, desperately trying to tap out a message to save myself?

'Course, I never have learned it. I've justified this laziness because I figure there won't actually be anyone on the other end who could figure out what I am saying. (Plus, I've found our modern means of communication effective for most circumstances.)

But this article makes me wonder: How prolific is this code? What are my chances of being saved?

Well, if a licensed radio operator is around, you'll be ok... unless these bastards have their way. We can only hope that they never succeed.
