Hello Wilfred,

The "it" relates to the "what else". It is coded as ".-- . .. -.."

Because I do not use an automatic translator and have experience reading
imperfect straight key hand send morse with QRM, I can anticipate and correct
on operator errors.

 MvdV>>  Because of the "--. .. --. --. .-...
 MvdV>> ...", my guess is that ".-- .. -. ." was meant.

On second thoughts: he may have meant ".-- . . -.." { Morse palindrome ;-) }

 WV> How do you get from "--. .. --. --. .-... ..." to "weid"?

I do not...

 WV> It translates to "giggs" according to an online morse decoder, where

The ".-..." is a result of bad quoting. In the original it is ".-.. .". The
word translates as "giggles".

BTW, the other error in the original in the the coding of "The Netherlands", It
is coded as "The Netheflands".


Cheers, Michiel
