Nancy Drew: Secret of the Scarlet Hand Hints

How can I send my message?

  • 1 of 6: First dial in the proper channel.
  • 2 of 6: After you have the proper channel, transmit the Nahuatl word for "snake," Henrik's special code name.
  • 3 of 6: Transmit the word COATL in Morse Code. (One letter at a time, pressing Send after each letter.)
  • 4 of 6: Next you want to tell them the "coast is clear" to send the package.
  • 5 of 6: Again, refer to Henrik's notebook for the word. (Another clue is the pink note on the bulletin board above the Ham Radio. What is the Spanish word for milk?)
  • 6 of 6: Punch in the word LECHE in Morse Code using the same procedure you did earlier. That's it!
