Decode this morse code for me?

Calling radio geeks! Can you decode this morse code for me?

It's from the new game Wii Sports Resort, and I'm sure it's an Easter Egg. In the Island Flyover mode, whenever you fly near the lighthouse (accidentally constructed at twice the normal size, don't you know), you get this recording played to you with no explanation.

I've used some gentle noise reduction to make the engine noise quieter.

the morse codes near the lighthouse says:
A: Does anyone out there know Morse code?
B: Sorry. Use your radio.

CwGet will decode morse from a .wma file, and is available for a free 30 day evaluation. (You'd need to convert your .mp3 file to .wma for input)

Someone else claims to have transcribed it as follows:

RHC DOES ANYONE USE MORSE CODE ANYMORE SD

GOOD QUESTION AAA

Whole thread is here.

That code is fast. I'm amazed at people who can transcribe on the fly.

Just listened to it, and royalsong has it. But I'll write it out again anyway, having taken the time to transcribe it: :-)

DOES ANYONE OUT THERE KNOW MORSE CODE?
SORRY. USE YOUR RADIO.

And yeah, it's quite fast. I used to be able to do Morse at that speed; this time it took me a couple of tries to get through it.

If you open it in something like audacity the dashes and dots are easy to see.
