Complement of A081605. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Mar 23 2003

Subsequence of A154314. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jan 07 2009

The first 28 terms are the range of A059852 (Morse codes for letters, when written in base 3) union {44, 50} (which correspond to Morse codes of Ü and Ä). Subsequent terms represent the Morse code of other symbols in the same coding. - M. F. Hasler, Jun 22 2020
