[Spooks] Automated Spy Numbers Loggings

[Brooke Clarke]

Hi Sue:

In Morse code the numbers are all 5 elements long, such as zero = dash  
dash  dash  dash  dash
but they always start with some number of dashes or dots and end with 5 
- the number of the other element.  For example one  is dot dash dash 
dash dash.  See:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morse_code

Since the last elements are always either dots or dashes you can remove 
all but one of them to shorten the character.  In the case of zero 
removing 4 redundant dashes leaves a single dash which is the letter 
"T".  In the case of one removing the redundant 3 trailing dashes leaves 
dot dash or the letter "A".  This only works in messages that are known 
before hand to contain only numbers.

Have Fun,

Brooke Clarke, N6GCE
