[CW] New Canadian War Museum - Morse Code Lives On

[David J. Ring, Jr.]

HR QSP:

Hello Everyone,

The new Canadian War Museum being built in Ottawa, Ontario has a
dramatic prow pointing at the seat of government - the Parliament
Buildings, a short distance away. In the prow are a series of small
round windows interspersed with rectangular ones. They spell out LEST WE
FORGET in Morse Code in both English and French. For anyone who doesn't
understand the code, it just looks like an odd assortment of windows.

Canadian Amateur magazine and was provided by Bill Rothwell VE3FGW.

According to the new CWM web page, visitors will also be able to view
the dots and dashes punched through the exterior wall that spell out the
initials for the Canadian War Museum in English and French in Morse
code. On sunny days, "CWM" and "MCG" will be projected in Morse code
into the building, visible to all.  Photos of the new building along
with a live, controllable web cam can be seen at:
