After two bottles of alcoholic beverage and sleep deprivation, you may not believe it because it's too good to be true, but I did the following... thing: I thought of a phrase, then I thought of its hexadecimal ASCII representation; then, for each hex digit, I thought of its representation in phonetic/radio communication alphabet (e.g. 0 = negative, 1 to 9 = one to nine, a = alpha, b = bravo, c = charlie, delta, echo, all the way to f = fox being the maximum hex digit possible), then I thought of this as Morse code (e.g. echo = . -.-. .... ---). No previous note taking (except for the "My mind is a Matrioshka" in Morse at the beginning of the note, although it was no help because I was encoding from ASCII rather than from Morse), no tools (no tools before the encoding; used tools after I was done with the encoding in order to check how much I got correct), no top-down writing, I processed everything in my mind and the only thing I wrote was the result in Morse. Of course, I missed some letters and one letter got replaced (because I thought of a 2 (72, r) instead of a 3 (73, s)), but the overall result quite of managed to do it.

The phrase? "My mind is a Matrioshka" as a meta-reference to the very thing I was trying to do: wrapping up several layers of encoding (text -> ASCII hex -> phonetics -> Morse). I ended up with "My min i a Matsioska" (I ate some letters during my multilayered thinking, it's not trivial to keep four simultaneous lines of thought, especially while drunk).

There's no use for this except for covert communication (but communication requires a peer, and I have none, let alone a peer nerd enough to manage such an "ability"). It's pointless. I managed to memorize the fucking ASCII table (earlier, I even recalled that I can recall of the ASCII code for apostrophe, it's 0x27, question mark is 0x3f for "Ontological Collapse" OC -> F3 -> 3F), it's also pointless. Morse may be useful for ham radio (but I don't do any QSO because I got no QRA).

I recorded the screen while I was doing this multilayered encoding. It took me 9 minutes to try and write "My mind is a Matrioshka". The screenshots happened afterwards as I then reverted back the encoding I made mentally. Well, you believe if you want to.

The difference between a high-power, targeted #METI transmission 📶 and the passive leakage of media signals : If you want to communicate with a camp on the other side of the lake, you could kneel down at the end of the lake and slap the water in #Morse code. If they are spectacularly technologically advanced, they might build instruments that would be able to parse out your Morse code.

Greetings, E.T. (Please Don’t Murder Us.)

A new initiative to beam messages into space may be our best shot yet at learning whether we’re alone in the universe. There’s just one problem: What if we’re not?

@DJ5CW Of course you are right! HC07S #hamchallenge @hamchallenge

Thanks to @DJ5CW for #lcwo, my CW advisor Lutz DM6EE, and my peers in the CW academy foundation class Jan/Feb '26 - now I am looking forward practising my #morse skills.

Yesterday was the first day, I successfully finished lesson 40/40 on #lcwo

Having been subscribed to the platform since 2008, it took me quite a while to finish the basic learning of #morse code.

Thanks to @DJ5CW for #lcwo, my CW advisor Lutz DM6EE and my peers in the CW academy foundation class Jan/Feb '26.

Now let's keep on learning to get ready for more QSOs.

I sent a "thank you" card via snail mail to Brett, KE9BOS, developer of vailmorse.com to thank him and the team behind the platform. I use it regulary to practice.
