Cypher test

Giv eqa uiy?

What in the world is this? How would you decipher the line above if you came across it? Would it be worth the time to figure it out? How long would it take to figure out? How many messages would you need to intercept before you figured out that the message used the following code:

A B D G I J L N Q S U V X
E C F H O K M P R T Y W Z

In junior high school, Seth Jardine and I used this to pass messages. We replaced vowels with other vowels so we could speak the code as well.
