Morse Code Cache Multi-cache

This cache has been archived.

Heartland Cacher: Greetings from Geocaching.com I'm Heartland Cacher, one of the volunteer reviewers for new caches submitted to Geocaching.com.

It has been a while since I first looked at this cache. I can't find any recent responses from the Cache Owner about maintaining this cache which makes it appear the Cache Owner is either unwilling or unable to maintain the cache. Cache maintenance includes listing maintenance including updating any changes to the text, updating coordinates, removing needs maintenance attributes and enabling the listing. The cache will be archived and removed from the active cache listings. Should the owner decide to maintain the cache in the near future (30 days), just contact me (by email including the GCXXX and Cache Name), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, I'll be happy to unarchive it.

Thanks for your understanding,
Heartland Cacher

Geocache Description:

This is a two-stage Multi-cache. The cache is a camouflaged one quart, plastic container. At the coordinates given above you will receive the coordinates for the cache via your car radio! Park your car safely in the vicinity of the above coordinates and tune your car radio to 105.1 MHz FM. Note: With the hot, humid weather, distant stations can sometimes be heard on your FM radio. If you have trouble copying the message, try tuning slightly up or down on the radio dial.

You will hear a series of beeps, short or long in duration, that represent numbers in Morse code. For example, one short beep followed by four longer beeps is a number “1”. Three long beeps followed by two short beeps is a number “8”, etc.
1 = . _ _ _ _
2 = . . _ _ _
3 = . . . _ _
4 = . . . . _
5 = . . . . .
6 = _ . . . .
7 = _ _ . . .
8 = _ _ _ . .
9 = _ _ _ _ .
0 = _ _ _ _ _

Fourteen numbers are transmitted. Decode the numbers to reveal the cache coordinates in the usual format: 42 3X.XXX 96 2X.XXX

Note that the numbers representing the degrees are transmitted, but the decimal points are not. After the numbers are sent, there is a ten second pause and the transmission begins over again. Drive to a safe parking spot near the new coordinates and continue your search on foot. The location is along a busy street, but it is shielded from traffic by trees.

If there is a blue truck in the driveway, stop and say hello.
