It's a little known aspect of special relativity which was in fact predicted by Einstein's equations. That coupled with the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle implies that as you approach a certin limiting speed in CW, the actual transmission speed will slow down and one will no longer be able to distinguish dots from dashes. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Mc" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Thom R.
