    My brother has a licence - he knew someone with a budgie (budgerigar) which imitated Morse code in the background when he was chatting - used to joke that if it made any sense he'd have to get it a licence of its own.

    I can still remember a few bits of code - da di da dit di di dit

    I still remember the Hancock episode 'the radio ham'
    This is GLK London transmitting on shortwave 10.4 metres, 250 megacycles per second, come in Tokyo..

    I was thinking of “ the radio ham” too.With the memorable line of:
    ........“It is raining in Tokyo also”.......

    That code sounds like a corrupted CQ, and the radio ham is a classic, I need to listen to it again.
