  2. Morse code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morse_code

    This Morse key was originally used by Gotthard railway, later by a shortwave radio amateur [2] Morse code is a telecommunications method which encodes text characters as standardized sequences of two different signal durations, called dots and dashes, or dits and dahs. [3][4] Morse code is named after Samuel Morse, one of the early developers ...

  3. SOS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOS

    SOS is a Morse code distress signal ( ), used internationally, originally established for maritime use.In formal notation SOS is written with an overscore line (SOS), to indicate that the Morse code equivalents for the individual letters of "SOS" are transmitted as an unbroken sequence of three dots / three dashes / three dots, with no spaces between the letters. [1]

  4. Morse code mnemonics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morse_code_mnemonics

    Morse code mnemonics are systems to represent the sound of Morse characters in a way intended to be easy to remember. Since every one of these mnemonics requires a two-step mental translation between sound and character, none of these systems are useful for using manual Morse at practical speeds. Amateur radio clubs can provide resources to ...

    To station S1ABC from station S2YZ: Over to you only. S1ABC transmits Morse message: S2 DE S1ABC = OK TNX QSO DR ANDY = 73 ES HPE CUAGN S2YZ DE S1ABC KN. To station S2YZ from station S1ABC. Okay, thanks for this conversation (QSO), 'dear' Andy. Best regards (73) and (ES) hope (HPE) to see you again (CUAGN).

  7. Theme from Mission: Impossible - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theme_from_Mission:_Impossible

    The theme is written in a 5 4 time signature, which Schifrin has jokingly explained as being for mutant people with five legs. [1]The Morse code for M.I. is two dashes followed by two dots ; if a dot is one beat and a dash is one and a half beats, then this gives a bar of five beats, exactly matching the theme's underlying rhythm. [2]

  8. Telegraph key - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telegraph_key

    Telegraph key. A Morse Key from G. Hasler, Bern (1900) first used by Gotthard Railway. A telegraph key or Morse key is a specialized electrical switch used by a trained operator to transmit text messages in Morse code in a telegraphy system. Keys are used in all forms of electrical telegraph systems, including landline (also called wire ...

  9. American Morse code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Morse_code

    American Morse Code — also known as Railroad Morse—is the latter-day name for the original version of the Morse Code developed in the mid-1840s, by Samuel Morse and Alfred Vail for their electric telegraph. The "American" qualifier was added because, after most of the rest of the world adopted " International Morse Code," the companies that ...
