This is a project to decode previously top-secret telegrams from the civil war. Cool!

RE: decoding US Civil War telegrams
The "Maker" people are getting into home-made ENIGMA machines.
One of my favourite ciphers is a sweeping spectrum of repeating radio pulses, which looks nearly random until the right decoding technique can be used.
To decode it, you need to do a a Fourier analysis using the right time domain, then plot each solution beside the last until it makes a long strip.
The sequence of pulses will appear like pixels of a dot-matrix pattern, which spells out the letters of the message.
