[Heathkit] OT: Morse code in a California Political ad

[Bill Cromwell]

Hi Phil,

I have heard that in the background in a different ad here in Michigan. 
I wonder if they even know. Once upon a time a local TV station had some 
Morse in the background and it seemed to be encouraging us to watch a 
competing station. I asked them about and it immediately *vanished*!
