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 do the dots and dashes mean in Morse code?

Individually the dots and dashes have no meaning.

It is only in the combinations defined in Morse code that there is meaning, the various characters of the code which can be used to send messages.

Why was the Morse code sent instead of letters?

Because the medium of transmission, either an electric wire or flashing lights could only manage either long or short signals.

Did sexting exist when Morse code was around?

I would doubt it being households typically didn't have a telegraph machine in their homes. Rather they often would go to a train station post office to send a message which would be Morse coded by a translator.

What language was Morse code written in?

Morse Code provides a letter-based method of communication by means of any type of signal that can be switched on and off ... light, sound, etc. As such, it can accomodate messages in any language that uses the familiar Roman (English) alphabet.

Can the American Morse code work underwater?

Sure. If you can make a sound, a light, or a gesture that can be seen or heard at some distance under water, then you can regulate the sight or sound to form the long and short signals that constitute Morse. Divers already use hand gestures to convey pre-arranged meanings. Morse Code is just 26 patterns of two symbols, pre-arranged to stand for all of the letters of the alphabet. All it takes is two people who agree on the same list of patterns ... and who can kind of spell ... and they can use the patterns to exchange full text.

What is the 2 Morse code?

either of two systems of clicks and pauses, short and long sounds, or flashes of light, used to represent the letters of the alphabet, numerals, etc.: now used primarily in radiotelegraphy by ham operators.

Morse code invention?

it was invented in a time of awesomness called 1830

How does telecommunication work?

Today, cables and radio waves carry all manner of information around the planet via the many networks that are constantly expanding and combining in infinite ways.

Before the advent of modern communications, however, our ancestors had to use their ingenuity to send messages.

The human voice, light signals and smoke signals were the forebears of modern telegraphs, telephones, radio, television, faxes and the Internet, which are the result of rapid advances made possible by the advent of electricity and, more recently, computers.

Using increasingly sophisticated technology, these tools have become a vital part of daily life and are the culmination of human endeavours stretching back over the centuries.

Was Morse code invented in Germany?

  1. Morse's original code was developed in the US and was later renamed American Morse code.
  2. European Morse code was developed in Germany about a decade later.
  3. International Morse code was derived from European Morse code with a few modifications by international agreement in the 1860s. It quickly replaced the European Morse code throughout Europe for all purposes and the American Morse code for international shipping but not on land or on coastal ships. International Morse code did not completely replace American Morse code until the early 20th century.

What is Morse Code for P?

The patterns at the end of the question, if interpreted as Morse Code, represent the letters: T O T

Morse code whether it is binary code or not?

Morse code consists of dots and dashes, but it's not really binary, which consists only of zeros and ones. A telegraph key is pressed very quickly for a dot or dit, a bit longer for a dash or dah. You need to add a pause between letters/numbers.

The letter N is dash dot; the letter C is dash dot dash dot. If you want to send two N's in a row you need a pause, i.e. dash dot <pause> dash dot. Typically you'd use a short pause between each letter in a word and a longer pause between each word.

What is a Morse code?

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 are the morse codes cj gives you on shrink ray?

the first Morse code is "flush the drive" the second is "Mr. Silva"

How do you say off in Morse code?

off in Morse code would be:

--- ..-. ..-.

NOTE: this is in international Morse code, there are 3 kinds of Morse code

What is the Morse Code?

The Morse Code is a coding system using dots and dashes (or short and long pulses) to represent each letter of the alphabet. It was used with the telegraph as the primary code for sending messages through a system that could not reproduce the human voice but could reproduce clicks, with the amount of time between the clicks representing the short and long coding.

In Morse code translated to English what does dot underscore mean?

That would be: dot dot dot dash.

If you mean like in the means of ..._ in Morse Code language, that would mean the letter "V".
