Phil - 

This has come up over the years on different lists, so perhaps someone
can give actual examples. Many movies and cartoons used Morse and
what's more, things like messages and callsigns are easily
recognizable in most. Hard to believe that new re-creations like those
used on the History Channel and other places can be so innacurate in
this respect.

Think of it as the secret message available from your entertainment
source, long before playing records backwards came into vogue.
