ack, 
it was a nice gesture. 
(obviously, it should have been in audio - but you take what you can get)

the blog was interesting in a technical sort of way, ( yes, the original railroad line code is different than what we know as morse today) but none of the hams I know, read the old Morse 1.0 - they all use the standard code.  and yes, they refer to it as Morse, or just plain code.
