   BK> TW> Producer Steven Spielberg has used Amateur Radio or Morse   
   BK> TW> code in three of his last four movies: Super 8 (2011), The   
   BK> TW> Adventures of Tin Tin (2011) and Lincoln (2012). Members of   
   BK> TW> the Morse Telegraph Club (MTC) -- an association of retired   
   BK> TW> railroad and commercial telegraphers, historians, radio   
   BK> TW> amateurs and others with an interest in the history and   
   BK> TW> traditions of telegraphy and the telegraph industry --   
   BK> TW> played an integral part in the production of Lincoln.   
      
   BK> And Lucas used Ham RTTY in Star Wars. Only it was so chopped up   
   BK> it was unrecognizable. Some hams got access to a computer fast   
   BK> enough to actually figure out what it was.   
      
   Most Movies and TV shows don't do it right. I was just impressed that   
   Spielberg wanted to do it right. But that is the way he typically does   
   movies.
