Amateur radio or "Ham Radio" is another hobby I have besides Geocaching.....yes it's true!!

Thought this would make a good puzzle cache.

The code speed is slow and the characters spaced apart. No numbers are used, only letters.

On the page where the file is there is an option to download the file. This is recommended and will make it easier for you. (this is a free hosting site and your are made to wait until you are able to download the file.) You can click on the Wikipedia link to find the characters corresponding the dits and dahs. If you are savy enough, you might find a Morse decoder program by Googling "Morse Code decoder".
