Morse Code

Although cellphones and SMS have pretty much made Morse Code moribund - its most popular current use is probably by amateur radio operators - this is a sub-category dedicated to the dots 'n dashes of the code that was invented by Samuel F.B. Morse in 1838. Find out "What is the most famous distress signal in Morse Code?" or "How do you communicate using Morse Code?

604 Questions

What invention did Samuel Morris invent?

Samuel Morse is the inventor of the telegraph system. The system used the Morse code to send and receive messages.

What famous message was transmitted via Morse Code between Baltimore and Washington?

The land telegraph was invented by Samuel F. B. Morse, in the 1830s I think. He built this thing that when a button was pushed at one place, it could cause a clacker to go clack at the other end of a wire many miles long. In order to send information over it, he invented a code of clacks for each letter of the alphabet ... which he modestly called Morse's Code. The message sent as the first public demonstration was "What hath god wrought".

What was written in Morse Code on the the Green Monster?

the yawkeys initials is the answer that was posted, but it is wrong.

It was meant to be the Yawkeys' ' initials but they made a mistake and it has never been corrected.

On the left vertical side of the American League section, they correctly spell out in morse code the initials of Tom Yawkey which are TAY. In morse code that is dash (space) dot dash (space) dash dot dash dash.

But on the right side (reading down) they meant to spell out JRY for Jeans intials but they made a spacing error. It should have read dot dash dash dash (space) dot dash dot (space) dash dot dash dash. However, they incorrectly inserted a space in what should have been the second letter, R. What should have read dot dash dot with a space after it, was incorrectly written as dot dash (then the incorrect space) and then a single dot (which is the letter E. The last letter, Y, was correct as dash dot dash dash.

This resulted in changing the R to two letters, namely A and E, so the whole thing reads JAEY.

Why this has never been caught for all these years is a mystery.

Update: The initials have now been corrected! This happened sometime between 2006 and 2012 (I have compared a photo from 2006 which has the error and 2012 which has it corrected).

What is a space in Morse code?

Morse code is composed of dashes and dots, or phonetically, "dits" and "dahs".

There is no symbol for a space in Morse, though there are rules when writing them.

1. One dash is equal to three dots

2. The space between parts of the letter is equal to one dot

3. The space between two letters is equal to three dots

4. The space between two words is equal to seven dots.

On many online Morse translators, using the character "/" or a "," will translate to a space.

How do you spell hemorroid in Morse codes?

In Morse code How many more dots than dashes are used in SOS?

Morse code for SOS is dot-dot-dot dash-dash-dash dot-dot-dot. There is a total of 6 dots and 3 dashes.

What previous invention that developed that made Morse code necessary?

The electric telegraph, transmitting signals as impulses, prior to the invention of the telephone and speech-carrying wireless ("radio"). The first wireless could only send Morse Code.

Why was the Frederick v Morse case important to society?

School speech. The case determined that educators have the right to suppress student speech relating to drug use at school functions and extra curricular activities. It's a very narrow decision, and clearly is only intended to cover a specific set of circumstances - at school events, promoting drug use.

Is Morse code a good speech topic if not what is a good speech topic?

Um, i am not sure if Morse code would be a good topic but it all depends on how interesting you make it. I advise you to put in some humor if you do decide to do it on Morse code. If you don't, do it on some thing you enjoy... your favorite hobby, sport, food, least favorite things... and if you can't think of one talk about speeches them self how much time you spent on trying to figure out a topic, if you like them or not, stuff like that. One year I did my speech on Emeralds and i was chosen to go to the gym, but i didn't go. I wish I did though I think that I would have done really well. Hope you figure it out. bye.

How do you spell CIA in Morse code?

This is how you spell CIA in Morse code: -.-. .. .-

Did Queen Victoria invent Morse Code?

In what way is Morse code better than ASCII EBCDIC and Baudot codes?

It is possible to send Morse by hand, which is not possible for the others which must all be transmitted by machines. These machines are easier to use, but may not be available in certain situations.

How can you read Morse code without a guide?

Once you have had some practice and learned it, you "read" Morse Code like a spoken language, recognizing the letters and words without having to think about them, just like spoken English.

Is Morse code a language?

Yes, while Morse Code is a branch off of American English, it has many unique Characters and abbreviations. Morse Code is as much a language as American Sign Language. -DE KI4WXI

1 Explain how Morse codes can be considering a binary code?

The idea is that there are two different codes, like the "1" and "0" in computers. I don't agree that it is a binary code; apart from the point and the dash (short and long signal), there are spaces of different lengths, to separate letters and words.

What is stucco dash?

"Dash" refers to a rough stucco finish created by throwing or blowing ("dashing") stucco or aggregate on the third (last) coat of concrete plaster to provide an ornamental appearance. In the first part of the 20th century, stucco was dashed with a special brush, but more recently it's shot from a machine, similar in principle to gunite or shotcrete. The roughness of the appearance ranges from "light dash" to "heavy dash" or "tunnel dash". The high spots may be lightly troweled to provide a "knockdown dash" finish.
