Hams love a good mystery - especially a radio mystery.
So when the author uncovered a cipher in Mickey Mouse's backyard, he just had to uncover its hidden message. Several years ago I was standing at the New Orleans Train Station at Disneyland Park in Anaheim, California. Echoing in my ears was the sound of a telegraph. I, like every other ham that has visited Disneyland, listened intently to the clicks and clacks and tried to decode the message that was coming from the telegraph sounder. As a practiced CW operator on the ham bands, my first thought was that it wouldn't be too hard to decode the content.
