[MRCA] code wheel

[Rob Flory]

The railroad engineers have such funky fists that it was not until I read
in an old magazine that they send Morse Q at grade crossings that I
recognized it as such.  Their spacings are all over the place.

I also did not recognize that the Rush instrumental YYZ is based on the
Morse ID for Toronto airport, that they must have heard coming out of the
cockpit on their way back from tour.  Again, funky timing.
