Seeker Posted March 4, 2021 Author Share Posted March 4, 2021 Winner, winner, chicken dinner! Correct answer by PaulD and confirmed by Kip. IFG added - also correct. I have hidden your posts to not spoil the fun for those who come along later - will reveal them in due time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kip Powick Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 1) Seeker posted a puzzle 2) I posted what I thought was the correct answer 3) Seeker quoted my post and posted I was close to the answer but not totally correct 4) PaulD came up with the right answer and I confirmed it 5) Seeker wants others to try to get the answer to the original post so he deleted the post with the answer and I suggested he delete his own post where he quoted my "partial answer......so 6) Others now must start at square one as there are no hints in this thread now.

Seeker Posted March 5, 2021 Author Share Posted March 5, 2021 Yeah, I didn't plan this very well - probably should have said, "Send me a PM with your guess/answer." Of course I underestimated my audience - didn't expect the correct answer from multiple people almost immediately after posting the challenge either.

J.O. Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 If the wav file is important then I'm out. Can't get it to play on my iPad no matter what I try. If it's not, then I'm just not smart enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.O. Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I didn’t realize I had to prove how old I am with an answer. One of my captains in the early 90’s loved aviation trivia and he taught me about those codes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.O. Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I give, it's deleted. I trust all similarly backhanded political comments will receive similar questioning in the future, no matter who they're directed at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeker Posted March 15, 2021 Author Share Posted March 15, 2021 Incoming answers have dried up so here is the "solution". The Morse Code is; QGW. The registration on the hot air balloon is QGW. That's the first part of the puzzle. The second part is this: QGW is one of the aviation Q-codes that was developed as a radiotelegraph shorthand. Longer questions and answers with a standard code to reduce the time and effort on the telegraph. QGW can mean either; "Does my landing gear appear down and in place ?" or "Your landing gear appears down and in place." The question or the statement. So, the answer I was really after was, "No", as in, "No, your landing gear does not appear down and in place." A few people got the first part and thought they were done but almost everybody made reference to the Q-code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
