Could be true Chuck. I guess to take it just a step further, we need to ask Simon to start looking into writing another mode into his great software to decode/operate the hammers to hit the trees like the old natives in the jungle do.
Oops, somebody would have to go cut down trees and the "huggers" ain't going to like that, so I guess the knocking sounds will be vertically polarized due to striking standing trees. Oh wait! This even predates CW and was just as effective ..... hmmmmmm Should we find possible scenarios to justify this mode now too?
