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?

Telephone country codes never begin with zero.
Country code +41, dialed as 00 41 from many places, is Switzerland.
Country code +1, dialed as 004 1 from many places, is North America, including the USA, Canada, and various Caribbean-ish islands.
To avoid confusion, it is best to write an international telephone number in correct international format, beginning with the plus symbol and the correct telephone country code (e.g., +41 or +1), omitting any dialing prefix.
(The plus signmeans "insert your international access prefix here." From a GSM mobile phone, you can enter the number in full international format, starting with the plus sign. The most common prefix is 00, but North America (USA, Canada, etc.) uses 011, Japan uses 010, Australia uses 0011, and many other countries use different prefixes.)
+41 is Switzerland
Who helped him invent the Morse code?
Alfred Vail, and kind of Joseph Henry even though Morse or Vail never really gave credit to Henry.
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.
What would happen to the world if Morse code wasn't invented?
Who knows? Ships everywhere would be doomed! Morse code required a human ear to interpret the received code since a lot of analysis was needed by he human brain in order to decipher the code.
Machines reading Morse code struggled until advanced electronics could cope with the varying length of each character. The telegraphic 5 unit Baudot code used in telegrams and telexes standardised the code so that every letter and number consisted of an equal length.This simplified the decoding to a point where relays and mechanisms could decode and print the received signal.
To answer your question ? They would have come up with something better. It triumphed because it was first on the scene.
Who developed a code that would communicate messages using a telegraph?
Samuel Morse invented the telegraph and the code that the telegraph used (Morse code).
-------------------------Advantages-----------------------------------------------------Disadvantages-------------
- Useful if radio or other technical communicants are compromised.
- No expensive equipment, just flags and a pair of binoculars
- Only trained individuals can understand the message making secure.
- It is cheap to set up the equipment needed to work it.
- It is universally understood by operators in all countries.
- Messages can be sent in Morse code in three basic forms; signaling involving the transmission of pressure, the transmission of light or radio waves.
- People need to be trained to operate the equipment and to use and translate it.
- It requires line of sight which can be hard to find in bad weathers.
- It is time consuming to send, receive and translate the messages.
- Morse code is slow and cumbersome compared with modern communication.
- You cannot be 100% sure that the recipient will understand Morse code.
- It is easily to misread the message as the difference between the length of signals identifying letters and words is very small.
- It is slow to use compared to talking over a telephone.

Morse code has improved communication in a lot of ways. Here are just several of the benefits of Morse code out of a whole lot of others:
- In aviation pilots use radio navigation aids. They usually emit a short set of station identification letters in Morse code in order to ensure that the stations they're using is in good service.
- The International Morse code is a favourite with amateur radio operators, as they can quickly key a transmitter on and off (also referred to as 'continous wave' or 'CW').
- Morse code can be used as a signal for help (SOS).
- Morse code has also helped many people with disabilities to communicate.
What is an example of a code often used by a teenagers?
ohhhhhh you must be one of those people who have absoluteley no idea what so ever of what it is like being a teenager in the 21st century we do not have codes or words we use and no-one i know (except real idiots uses the word 'cool') there are no codes its just normal to us theres no codes its just normal to us not 'cool' or any other 1980's retro word just normal 1st you are prob a parent trying to figure out wat their kid says jst ask ur friends or kid then you'll know
Where was the Morse Code created?
Morse code was developed by a man named Samuel Morse. In 1844, the first message using this special code made of various sequences of dots and dashes or short and long signals was sent over a telegraph line between Baltimore and Washington.
In 1848, the code was adapted by a man named Friedrich Gerke and his version is the one that has become internationally accepted and used.
What different types are there of Morse code?
Three main ones:
- American Morse code (Morse's original, 1844)
- European Morse code
- International Morse code (replaced the previous types in 1865)
When and where was the enigma code invented?
The Germans used the Enigma in WW2. It had a set of gears that when you pressed a letter on the keyboard, it seemed to randomly type another letter on the sheet of paper you were typing on. only if you had the same set of gears could you translate the code to English. The gears were interchangeable so you could create many different codes.
Morse code alphabet (in international Morse code) is:
A: .-
B: -...
C: -.-.
D: -..
E: .
F: ..-.

K: -.-
L: .-..

What was the first Morse code message sent in 1844?
What hath God wrought - it's a phrase from the Bible
How long Morse code take to travel from one point to another?
From one telegraph station to another - instantly. However telegraph stations were not very far apart so the message had to be retransmitted onwards. Originally this was done manually - an operator had to listen for incoming messages, write them down and then re-key tem. Later on they used punched tape which was produced when a message was received and could be automatically retransmitted. End to end - from the sender to the recipient could take several hours or days if overseas depending on the number of "hops".
What is Morse code by mirror called?
If there is a light source reflecting your mirror at a certain angle it is possible to send a Morse code to another person from a distance.
How did people communicate before morse code?
The people communicated in many ways like:
- Letter
- Personal Messenger
- Pigeons
- Eagles
World's largest iron ore producers?

4) china
When and how was the Morse code invented?
Samuel F.B. Morse, with the assistance of Alfred Vail, invented Morse Code in 1835 when, as a professor of arts and design at New York University, he proved that signals could be transmitted by wire. Originally, Morse Code was a series of written codes on a strip of paper, but in 1836, the device used to produce the written codes was modified to emboss the paper with dots and dashes, which he modestly called Morse's Code.
The message sent as the first public demonstration was "What hath God wrought".
