Pegasus, Pandora and Procol Harum

Many years ago Procol Harum released an album, Procol's Ninth. On that album there was a song called Pandora's Box. Within the incomprehensible lyrics (what were they on?) are these two lines...     'Pegasus, the wing-ed horse,
    relays his messages by Morse.'

Now, Pegasus was the emblem of the Radio Amateur Callbook Inc. And in the USA there is the American Radio RELAY League.

Coincidence?
