I felt kinda bad about being mean to Len, so I'll try to meet him
halfway with a Morse code topic. So maybe we can ressurect this old one...

I hear lots of Hams declare that Morse code is a binary mode.

It is most certainly not.

Let us look at the situation.

Is the Dit a "0"?
Is the Dah a "1"?

Is the space between characters a "0"? and the Dih a "1"? Oh wait, what
is the Dah then? Oh, and what about the space between words?

It isn't binary, and the way our noodles process it isn't binary.

It's not binary.
