Is this the old land line telegraph code? N5VV 
uses four dashes for "ch" when sending to me. I 
finally figured out what he was doing when he 
sent words with the characters ch in them. I 
began substituting ch for the four dashes and all 
started to make sense to me. I bet my buddy WK2M 
would know. Unfortunately he doesn't have a PC. 
I'll try sending some of them to him and see how he reacts.

I think Morse characters would be a better description.
