Just curious to see if any one has ever heard or knows of a case of someone sending or hearing braille over radio.

I've never heard of such a thing.  I'm not sure how that one would exactly work, short of a signal intended to be received and translated into something a Braille display hooked up to the rig could decode.  I'd be interested to see if it were actually doable, and I say this as a Braille reader.  Yes, I'm outing myself not only as a geeklady, but a blind geeklady! 

Ask Mark whose username I currently forget how to spell (sorry mate).  He'll verify I'm not lying; he's met and DX'd with me.  I really am blind.

CW definitely does work!  :)  Braille itself is an interesting idea, though it'd be quite software and hardware dependent, and pretty limited in who could receive it for just that reason.
