Vuvuzela Morse Code

The Soccer World Cup may be over, but it seems we haven't yet heard the last of the dreaded vuvuzela.

Just when you thought it was safe to remove your earplugs...

From the National JOTA Organizer in (of course) South-Africa comes the suggestion to have a game with Morse Code on the vuvuzela.

Dave Gemmell suggests:
i) choose a place to practice so as not to annoy any one.
ii) don’t practice after 19H00 or before 08H00 or on Sundays
iii) wash/clean the mouth piece properly before blowing

a) send each character correctly in morse.
b) how many scouts can receive message correctly?
c) determine the maximum distance that can be achieved.
d) record the distance and tell us about it.

Our thanks to Reg, G8VHI for spotting this item
