I've learned a bit of morse code from flying. The older VOR navigation systems identify themselves with a three letter code, so to confirm you have the right frequency dialed in, you listen to the dot/dashes getting beeped at you. I cheat - I found a font that would translate the VOR name FCM when I printed it for my kneeboard.
The charts, for example, lists the morse code for the VOR, which translates to FCM
