Morse Code Cache

[+Will+Bill]

We just found a really cool cache (FTF, actually ).

 

Anyways, to get the coords to the cache, you had to decode morse code. Has anyone ever tried this before? It was a really fun challenge for us.

I've done two like that. Both required you to LISTEN to the code. I found that to be MUCH harder than translating written code.

[+Will+Bill]

Yeah, that was the deal in this one, too. If you go to the site, there is a .WAV file to play.

[+Robespierre]

Well, Samuel would be proud.

[+Ambrosia]

We have one like that in Wenatchee.

I'm gonna have to head out and try that one. Care to join me Ambrosia? (inside joke)

[+Ambrosia]

Now, now, Stunod. Hopefully you live VERY far away from Wenatchee.

Do you have link for the cache.

 

I might set one up like that in my area, My be interesting, my CW (Morse) skills are kind of rusty.

Actually, now that I look at it, only the hint is in morse.

Can some one link a cache that has an audio file attached? And how do you attach an audio file to a cache page. If someone tells me I will link a simple program that creates code from text. Thanks.

Sometimes morse code is simply there, at least in Austria.

 

Give Graz, the provincial capital of Styria, a visit and do the

Schlossberg 2: Durch & Rauf!.

 

Have a look at Graz (sorry, german or should I say 'austrian', only).

Here's a morse code cache. Don't know morse code so haven't figured it out yet.

The morse code cache up here has a link to a page on the hiders site with the .wav file located there.

 

You can download a program that listens to audio files and decodes the morse. Just do a google search.

That ones not to far away and I think I got the code right

Here's one that requires you to use a radio and actually find his transmitted signal.

OH no!

 

i am creating this cache with a homemade commercial fm transmiter and i just noticed this cache was invented before!

I did one in written morse code, that tranlated into Pig Latin. It got some groans. It has been archived as it served it's purpose.

[+Lazyboy & Mitey Mite]

I've heard of such caches but I honestly wouldn't be interested in searching for one. Many cachers are pretty creative and there's something to interest almost everyone with this hobby.

Here's a version of the Morse Code cache being done in our area : - by .

 

You have to be sure to listen carefully to the code being played in order to get to the correct coords. Getting the info for the next stage is interesting as well, but I don't want to give anything away in the forums...

The link of the cache I was talking about was Skyhook. Sorry, I thought that I included it in my original post.

[+Quintheeskimo66]

How about the code on this cache. This one was a headache to translate, but I had fun doing it, and it was very satisfying when I found it.

Nearby we have Arpy's Re-Morse which gives much of the description of the cache in morse code. They do give a cheater hint that allows easier deciphering, though.

Would love to say it's a great cache! But when my dad & I went to try it a few weeks ago, he plopped himself into a creek/muddy bank and we aborted. I think you can see his write-up if you look for the log by Tuck-A-Way.

[+Dan-oh]

I should be so lucky as to only decode the morse code on this cache.

It uses an MP3 recording of the morse code but then its encypted on top of that. My math challenged brain just couldn't get it though.

 

Tucson Thompsen is evil!

CW MIDI

is a simple program to convert text to morse audio. You can set the speed and a couple of choices of tone frequency.

 

CW Get

is the best morse code decoding software. This is a functional shareware. Use a mic on your sound card. You can use a laptop to listen to the code from another computer, or record it first on a recorder and play back into your mic...... or decode by ear......

 

Comments: Those of us that use morse code on the air, call it CW (continuous wave.) It is a true universal language. I have had contacts with people in over 160 countries using morse code. Just think, they can all communicate using only one common language.

Try decoding the morse code in this cache. Then figure it out from there. It took me 2 1/2 hours to solve it, and I got a bad headache.

Yes, you can find a quick online morse code reader to decode the CW, but from there, you need to do it by hand.

It has been done... once, or twice around my area.

Thats so awesome!

We did this one yesturday. Cool cache and I got the code correct the first time.

Naaahh.. for pure, unadulterated Morse Code sickness.... nothing beats Punkte und Spuren

See what ya'll make out of this one! Please dont post any answers you come up with here!!!

Ok...I just figured how to save a midi file of Morse code to my 'puter... I want to use it in a cache...how do I link to it?

 

Thanx

[+Will+Bill]

You need to host it somewhere, like on a personal web site. I can hose it for you if it is small.

[+Team Flying Dachshund]

One is in the works

[+Will+Bill]

I am trying to figure out a cache that involoves the use of semaphore. It is also hidden by Greengecko, he is clever.

[+Team Flying Dachshund]

I just made this cache. It involvs morse code.

Wouldnt bet my life on it but i think i figured out where this one is. Will arrive to the area on Sunday and stay for a few days. Hope to try for it while we are there!

you people sicken me!!!!!

 

you and Gordon West. blech...

I have had one out since last year titled They Live Among Us. What evilness that I did was I copied all the Morse code to a jpeg so that you can't cut and paste it to a Morse Code translator. Not many people have done this cache because of the code and the fact it is a mystery/multi but I have gotten great reviews from the cachers who have done it!

Wow this is so cool how people think alike. I have not been on since (Welcome back; your last visit was on Jun 18 2004, 12:27 AM ) and just posted a Morse Code Cache like the ones being talked about here. "History of Morse Code" Use waypoint: GCK4CD. My dad use to be a ham operator "W4DRZ" and he was really good at it. I have to use the internet to do the translations. I had a friend tell me about this forum and I just had to check it out. Also working a new one with Braille for the cache cords. Will have to see if there are any more out there. Happy Geocaching.
