    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telegraph_key

    A telegraph key, clacker, tapper or morse key is a specialized electrical switch used by a trained operator to transmit text messages in Morse code in a telegraphy system. [1] Keys are used in all forms of electrical telegraph systems, including landline (also called wire) telegraphy and radio (also called wireless) telegraphy .

    Chart of the Morse code 26 letters and 10 numerals [1]. 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.

    This table combines the ICAO international spelling alphabet and the ITU International Morse Code. The Allied military phonetic spelling alphabets prescribed the words that are used to represent each letter of the alphabet, when spelling other words out loud, letter-by-letter, and how the spelling words should be pronounced for use by the ...

  6. Morse code abbreviations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morse_code_abbreviations

    Morse code abbreviations are not the same as prosigns.Morse abbreviations are composed of (normal) textual alpha-numeric character symbols with normal Morse code inter-character spacing; the character symbols in abbreviations, unlike the delineated character groups representing Morse code prosigns, are not "run together" or concatenated in the way most prosigns are formed.

  7. 16-line message format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/16-line_message_format

    16-line message format, or Basic Message Format, is the standard military radiogram format (in NATO allied nations) for the manner in which a paper message form is transcribed through voice, Morse code, or TTY transmission formats. The overall structure of the message has three parts: HEADING (which can use as many as 10 of the format's 16 ...

  8. ACP 131 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACP_131

    The original edition of ACP-131 was published by the U.S. military during the early years [when?] of radio telegraphy for use by radio operators using Morse Code on continuous wave (CW) telegraphy. It became especially useful, and even essential, to wireless radio operators on both military and civilian ships at sea before the development of ...

  9. Wireless telegraphy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_telegraphy

    As long as the telegraph key was pressed, the transmitter would produce a string of transient pulses of radio waves which repeated at an audio rate, usually between 50 and several thousand hertz. [33] In a receiver's earphone, this sounded like a musical tone, rasp or buzz. Thus the Morse code "dots" and "dashes" sounded like beeps.
