Odd...I speak Morse at 25 words per minute.  All I have ever copied on the show opens were random letters and occasionally a number.

I read that on the CBS Jericho website some time back. I'll find a link when I get home from work today .

Thank you rpm, and please do...

All I copied was gibberish.

In the "old days", movies (especially) and TV had accurate CW when presented, as many more people were fluent in Morse back then.

This is off IMDB.com's triva section for the show.

"Each episode's title card is accompanied with audio containing only Morse code (dots and dashes, or short and long beeps) which, when translated, provides a short hint (around 3 words) about the episode to come."

"The Morse code that accompanies the opening credits of each episode is broadcast at 15 words per minute at 1000 Hz frequency."

Amazing....

:confused:

15 wpm is doggin' it for me, and I still find previous episode opens as randomly generated code.

Either there is a secondary code to apply (write down CW heard and then reassemble as some word jumble) or maybe someone is pullin' our larriats?

Guessing I'll actually do hard copy on next episode :aok

Thank you gentlemen.
