In 2010, the Colombian army wanted to send a message of hope to soldiers held hostage by FARC guerrillas deep in the jungle. But how to send a message the hostages would recognize, but their captors wouldn't? Morse code, hidden in a pop song.
It's pretty awesome that the code got out, heard, and gave hope to the captives. It reminds me of something from satisfying thriller fiction, complete with a little justified payback for the ad exec. Very cool!

That’s a terrific story. Morse code also was used in the intro to the Rush hit YYZ, the three-letter code for Toronto, their home airport.
