Thanks Daryl!  I found it on the ARRL website, they had the snipped
of the send and recieve and the CW ops winning. It was entertaining!

 DS> During the Australian competition in April, a Morse team consisting of
 DS> 93-year-old former post office telegrapher Gordon Hill -- the sender
 DS> -- and 82-year-old Jack Gibson -- the receiver -- topped 13-year-old
 DS> SMSer Brittany Devlin. In that event, Hill spelled out the message in
 DS> full, while Devlin used text-messaging shorthand. In that competition,
 DS> held at the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney, Hill took 90 seconds to send
 DS> the message, 18 seconds faster than Devlin's message took to reach her
 DS> friend's cell phone. 

That one sounds interesting also, I'll have to see if I can find it.
Thanks for the entertainment...
