Those of you interested in ham radio and the rhythm of the code might be 
interested in Morse Coding the following:

BEST BENT WIRE / M

Using the syllable "dah" for a dash and "dit" for a dot, the Morse code 
symbol for the slant sign is "dah dit dit dah dit"

Here's bit from the rhythmic rendition - the last two symbols ( / M ) are 
sounded like this:

dah dit dit dah dit (pause) dah dah

which is the old "shave and a haircut" rhythm.

The whole thing in its entirety is kinda catchy.

Respectfully Submitted,

Bill "dah dit dit dit - dit dit - dit dah dit dit - dit dah dit dit" Gunter
