<P><FONT face=Tahoma>The Soccer World Cup may be over, but it seems we haven't
yet heard the last of the dreaded vuvuzela. </FONT></P>
<P><EM><FONT face=Tahoma>Just when you thought it was safe to remove your
earplugs...</FONT></EM></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>From the <STRONG>National JOTA Organizer in (of course)
South-Africa</STRONG> comes the suggestion to have a game with <STRONG>Morse
Code</STRONG> on the <STRONG>vuvuzela</STRONG>. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>Dave Gemmell suggests:<BR>i) choose a place to practice so
as not to annoy any one. <BR>ii) don’t practice after 19H00 or before 08H00 or
on Sundays <BR>iii) wash/clean the mouth piece properly before
blowing</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>a) send each character correctly in morse.<BR>b) how many
scouts can receive message correctly?<BR>c) determine the maximum distance that
can be achieved.<BR>d) record the distance and tell us about it.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>Our thanks to <STRONG>Reg, G8VHI</STRONG> for spotting this
item</FONT></P>
