Absolutely.
And it seems that the chances of encountering one of the special characters is very likely.
So, have to consider the swedish morse code set with the three extra characters.
Post it on QRZ.com
Bigger international audience over there. Those old codgers enjoy stuff like that. I looked at it for a few minutes, but then my brain started hurting.
How old were you when you got the mystery love note?

I think that is a marvelous idea.
Yeah, me too, I don't really enjoy this kind of stuff; Makes my head hurt too.
I don't think I remember my first mystery admirer.
Thanks
( some really old guy sittin' there in his underwear will be the one to figure it out....lol)
Hi,
I'm new so please direct me to the right thread if this isn't the one.
I found this site when I googled morse decoding.
20 years ago - today - I received this note from someone:
The Swedish part of the massage is: "the Cut". There is a truth in "the Cut". his is my real name (the "code") Kiss, Kiss
I tried to solve this 20 years ago, but since I didn't know where the letters were separated I got stuck. I have thought about this note every february but never figured out who sent it. When I found it again a few weeks ago I tried to find a program or something to help me solve it, but I found this site. I hope you can help me - it's driving me crazy.
Please do tell me if you need more information.
(Maybe I should tell you that I am happily married, my happiness does not in any way depend on solving this. I just want to know.)
Would be beneficial to know what you think the gender of the unknown name is consistent with.
Thank you
I have no ideas about 'foreign' names, but hows this for a start?

You might be on to something there.
So many possibilities...... just have to try as many that makes sense.
The names on this list are the names of the boys I suspected and/or hoped sent the note in 1993.(baisically all the boys in my class, and the boys who knew me via "the Scouts")
It can be another name of course, but in the late seventies parents named their children after the same few famous Swedes....
Magnus Kenneby
Christian "Kotten" Palmqvist
Olof Hult
Joel Hedén
Johan Nilsson
Johan Hultman
Jonas Hall
Jonas Fredriksson
Bumni Odibei
Daniel Lidén
Andreas Paulsson
Tobias Eriksson
Peter Olsson
Andreas Hellstrand
Björn Markholm

Thank you. I'll try that other forum.
I am female, I guess the sender is male (Even if I'm swedish, swedes weren't as tolerant in the nineties as now, so I don't think a girl would've sent it)
The top 10 boys name given in the 70's:
Johan
Fredrik
Mikael
Daniel
Magnus
Mattias
Anders
Peter
Andreas
Jonas

Check back from time to time; Someone might post some guesses.
Even if they weren't so friendly at GDX someone there might see it and post a answer/guess.
I am still working on it; Might take me weeks to finally give up, but in the meantime I will from time to time post some guesses.
I still have a question or two:
What was your age at the time and what age do you expect the author to be?
Do you recall that morse code was taught in the school or scouts?
This question might seem too obvious but; Do you recall anyone that could have been the author that was involved with amateur radio? ( I expect the answer to this to be 'no' )

I was 15 and I suppose the sender was about the same age.
We were not taught morse code in school or scouts. But in the scouts we did talk about different codes and cipher, and I was quite good at it..... not good enough though.....
I don't recall anyone being interested in amateur radio, it was only computer programming in these days in our village....
Thanks
I will proceed with my iterative process untill I find something suitable to post here.
