this came up awhile back. searching my old 313 emails...i'm not coming up with an exact translation of the morse code, but there seems to have been general agreement that the code pointed to a URL, and that the website it pointed to was taken down after a very short time. one 'jonathan morse' posted to the 313 list saying:
the page was a missive of some sort about code breaking and made mention of british mathematician alan turing and the enigma machine/codes used against germany in world war two and that the background of the page was pictures of the enigma machine and other espionage related stuffs. the page disappeared quick when the whole scheme was compromised. im sure someone somewhere preserved it all for prosperity though.
certain parties posting to the list seemed to think that revealing the translated code was some sort of breach of faith with our superheroes, the UR crew....even Mr. (ahem) Morse suggests that the 'scheme' was 'compromised'.
Perhaps he is part of the scheme and is not to be trusted. I think he's at least a little confused, since the enigma machines were used by Germany against the Allies.
in any case, the long side of Codebreaker is among the best things UR/Mad Mike has ever done.

My friend was telling me that there is actual Morse code on the Codebreaker track. Would anyone with the ability to crack the code mind informing me of the message? -end transmission
