## Solution:

This immediately looks like morse-code, with dots and dashes.
`dah` stands for (and sounds like) "dash", and `di`/`dit` stand for (and sound like) "dot" (with the distinction where the latter is used at the end of a word).

If we decode the message using morse code, we get:
```
0X57702A6C58744751386538716E6D4D59552A737646486B6A49742A5251264A705A766A6D2125254B446B6670235E4E39666B346455346C423372546F5430505A516D4351454B5942345A4D762A21466B386C25626A716C504D6649476D612525467A4720676967656D7B433169634B5F636C31434B2D7930755F683476335F6D3449317D20757634767A4B5A7434796F6D694453684C6D385145466E5574774A404E754F59665826387540476E213125547176305663527A56216A217675757038426A644E49714535772324255634555A4F595A327A37543235743726784C40574F373431305149
```

This looks like hex, and we can convert it to ASCII to get the following message:
```
Wp*lXtGQ8e8qnmMYU*svFHkjIt*RQ&JpZvjm!%%KDkfp#^N9fk4dU4lB3rToT0PZQmCQEKYB4ZMv*!Fk8l%bjqlPMfIGma%%FzG gigem{C1icK_cl1CK-y0u_h4v3_m4I1} uv4vzKZt4yomiDShLm8QEFnUtwJ@NuOYfX&8u@Gn!1%Tqv0VcRzV!j!vuup8BjdNIqE5w#$%V4UZOYZ2z7T25t7&xL@WO7410QI
```

The flag hides inside the text: gigem{C1icK_cl1CK-y0u_h4v3_m4I1}.

The following Python script handles the decode process end-to-end:
```python
class MorseCode(object):
CODE = { 'A': '.-', 'B': '-...', 'C': '-.-.',
'D': '-..', 'E': '.', 'F': '..-.',
'G': '--.', 'H': '....', 'I': '..',
'J': '.---', 'K': '-.-', 'L': '.-..',
'M': '--', 'N': '-.', 'O': '---',
'P': '.--.', 'Q': '--.-', 'R': '.-.',
'S': '...', 'T': '-', 'U': '..-',
'V': '...-', 'W': '.--', 'X': '-..-',
'Y': '-.--', 'Z': '--..',

'0': '-----', '1': '.----', '2': '..---',
'3': '...--', '4': '....-', '5': '.....',
'6': '-....', '7': '--...', '8': '---..',
'9': '----.'
}

def __init__(self):
self.decode_map = {v:k for k, v in self.CODE.items()}

def encode(self, msg):
res = ""
for c in msg:
res += ' ' if c == ' ' else self.CODE[c]
return res

def decode(self, msg):
res = []
for word in msg.split(" "):
res.append(self.decode_map[word])
return "".join(res)



with open("flag.txt") as f:
mc = MorseCode()
msg = f.read()
msg = msg.replace("-", "").replace("dah", "-").replace("dit", ".").replace("di", ".")
r = mc.decode(msg)
print (r)
print (format(int(r, 0), 'x').decode("hex"))
```
