Hi Ed,
Only text in upper case was in the file ending with OF. After the 
fade out was my comment to Greg Leyh's line- For radio enthusiast's 
only (paraphrasing). Once decoded it was for all Tesla-philes. That's 
all I meant.

In truth I had to look up the morse equivalent of a quotation mark 
also. It took me a few listenings to get the whole message even at 
15wpm. I'm more comfortable with 10wpm but I did pass the 13wpm code 
test to get my advanced ticket before the license restructuring happened.

Tesla's biography in morse. Now that's something to groove to on your iPod ;-)
Bob out..."

   At least a bit off topic but wonder if Tesla ever "learned the 
code"?  I can't remember any record of him engaging in two-way 
communication so perhaps he didn't.  As for special Morse characters, 
I have some high-speed (35 wpm +) practice tapes which have a bunch 
of special characters in them including $ (ds run together as one 
character).  Kind of startling to hear until you get used to them!
