Sort of remember the parentheses as -.--.- (KK).

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.
