checked it out tonight with some scratch paper - copied it down about five times for mess ups and i'm pretty sure it was only getting as far as P-I-T-T-S-B-U-R. So we're getting close, but it didn't look complete tonight.

I work in the Grant Building and have seen the mechanism -- it's not electronic -- it's a very old mechanical device full of relays and cog wheels. I'll post it up here for folks to see.
This beacon was the first morse code I ever decoded... as a child in the smokey atmosphere of Pittsburgh... circa 1960. I went on to learn morse code completely... and became proficient sending and receiving it at about 45 words per minute.

It's up. Look under my name, or search on "Grant Building Beacon Controller".

It could only take a student of CMU to notice the morise code during the firework show. Good catch.

How long before it reads "GLECKSPLEEFCT"?
I had no idea the night skyline was so pretty there.

Even prettier at sunset -- and one of the most amazing city skylines you'll ever see during any fireworks display.
