Another Mystery / Puzzle cache to keep you occupied whilst sitting at home.
Yep! This is another radiocommunications-based cache.
I was tempted to call this cache 'Mind The Gap (Eastbourne)'. Why? See below.
The cache is a 35mm film pot placed approximately 1m above ground level.

As with learning the letters, above, the first batch of numbers are practised first.
Then the second batch are practised.
Then all of the numbers are practised together.
Finding the cache:
Harry the ham-fisted morse code operator has just sent you a transmission with the co-ordinates of the cache.
Unfortunately, once again, Harry had mis-adjusted the gap on his morse key and his sending was atrocious.
To establish the co-ordinates, you now have to solve the puzzle of what Harry sent.
This was Harry’s message:
