Morse Code

-- --- .-. ... .

And I guess you would say it like;

dah dah, dah dah dah, dit dah dit, dit dit dit, dit.

:)

Actually, you would say it, dash dash space dash dash dash space dot dash dot space dot dot dot space dot!!!

Morse code was used in the 1800s. It wasn't until the late 1800s that Morse code began to be used through radio communication.

Spam, Morse code or Botting.

Samuel Morse was a co-developer of the telegraph system. In its infancy, the telegraph was limited to electric and/or electro-magnetic impulses: clicks, so to speak. The Morse Code was developed to enable the transmission of letters and numbers via these impulses, in a series of 'dots' and 'dashes', which were originally recorded as such on a moving paper tape. Operators soon learned to interpret the clicks without looking at the tape.

The telegraph. Hence the name for telegraph code, "Morse Code." See the Related Link below for more information about Samuel F. B. Morse and the telegraph.

It had been used to communicates

Morse Code allowed letters, numbers, and punctuation to be transmitted as long and short 'clicks' over railroad telegraph lines to quickly communicate information before the telephone was invented.

By RogerTango:

Also, the tone of a CW signal is much easier to identify with weak signals or a lot of interference. A Morse code tone only needs about 50 hertz of audio bandwith, a human voice requires about 1,000 hertz to be understandable. Morse Code is also a much more efficient mode of transmitting on radio when using limited RF power. HTH, Andrew

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. While using the simplest possible transmitting and receiving equipment, it is highly immune to noise, and can succeed over very noisy 'channels'.

The emergency code "SOS" was chosen not because it means anything, but because its Morse Code is very simple to remember and transmit: dot dot dot dash dash dash dot dot dot. This combination of letters was established in 1906 by the International Radiotelegraphic Convention in Berlin. It is still used as an international distress signal, especially by ships and aircraft. Many people have made up acronyms for SOS, such as "Save Our Souls," "Save Our Ship", "Sink Or Swim", "Send Out Sailors", "Save Our Skins", and "Send Out Someone", but these were invented after the fact. SOS is also the theme of the Song "Message in a Bottle" by The Police.

It allowed people to communicate easier. It didn't always need electricity and didn't need expensive transmitters and receivers People who are blind could hear because it beeped dots and dashes when the message came.

The acquisition of an ability in Morse Code is a significant accomplishment for most people, just as any other representational language. Animals don't use it.

In today's digital age, it's very hard to imagine a time when communication could be very slow. However, that was the case at the time the Morse code was developed (1836). It allowed people to use the code to send messages via telegraph that would have taken days, weeks or months to send,

Samuel Morse invented the telegraph and also the Morse code.

Can't tell from the dots and dashes. Where are the dividing points? Dot dot is an I Dash Dash is an M Dot dot dot dot is an H Dash dash dash dash isn't used in the US, but chould be CH Depending on where things break, it could be a lot of different words!

Goodbye in Morse code is (--. --- --- -.. -... -.-- .).

As you know, Morse Code is a series of short sounds and long sounds. A "dash" sound is three times longer than a "dot" sound.

The dots and dashes of each letter are "spaced" apart the same length of time that a "dot" sound is sent.

Each letter is sent, then there is a length of time, which is the same length of time that the "dash" sound is sent.

so for example if you were sending the standard distress signal of SOS, here is how it breaks down:

The letter S = three dots

The letter O = three dashes

So then SOS is sent like this:

S = dot dot dot (then wait a little..)

O = dash dash dash (then wait a little..)

S = dot dot dot (then wait a little..)

Dash dash in (international) Morse code is M

SOS originally didn't stand for anything. It was just an easy-to-remember distress code. It later became associated with several sayings:

* Save Our Seamen * Save Our Ship * Save Our Souls * Ship Out of Service

* Survivors On Shore

What hath God wrought - it's a phrase from The Bible

Samuel Morse was married to Lucretia Pickering Walker. He was away when his wife died, and was sad he did not know. He then was angry that he did not know. After which he continued to further long distance communication.

HOW THEY MADE A MORSE CODE MACHINE

Samuel F.B. Morse and Alfred Vail developed an electric telegraph which sent pulses of electrical current to control an electromagnet that was located at the receiving end of the telegraph wire.
