Does anybody know the morse code at the beginning of the pink floyd song "Astronomy Domine"?

I will in a few minutes, stand by...

EDIT: After some research, it appears that no one really knows what it is, and considering that the voice at the beginning is just the manager reading a horoscope through a distorted megaphone, it's probably someone randomly playing with a CW key.
But, I'm curious and bored, so I'll see if I can isolate it and transcribe some letters, since no one seems to have done that.

Alrighty. I've isolated the morse code section, cleaned it up as best as I could, and slowed it down to less than 1/2 normal speed. I'll try to translate it later, but I've also posted it online if anyone else wants to take a crack at it.
Hope this helps! And thanks for giving me something interesting to do for an hour
