Description:
When visiting the train station with my daughter I came across a Morse Code puzzle and I am currently reading the The Mysterious Benedict Society where the children are learning Morse Code. I think it would be fun to write each other a postcard in Morse Code. Please write your Swap-Bot name and the address in regular font, though. The link to the code you can find here: http://www.linguanaut.com/morse_code.htm This will be open to international swappers, with a rating of 4.75 and no 1s or 3s in the last 6 months. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Morse code was featured on a Jay Leno episode taped onto YouTube recently. This 140 year old technology competed with Texting to send a message to a recipient and easily won! Morse Code and Computers are both generated by the Binary System, which is another amazing, yet little-known fact. I'm a fan of both. Thanks for putting up this swap. It's very timely.

I wrote out some Morse Code and realized that writing it would pose a problem, for me anyway! How to discern when a word ended and a new one begun? I decided to put a // between words, thus telling me when the word ended. Also, to be able more easily to separate the letters of each word, I put the first letter code low on the line, and the second letter code above it and to the right. Each letter code was then easier to read and translate for this rank amateur of Morse Code!//
