The Morse code, as specified in the current international standard, International Morse Code Recommendation, ITU-R M.1677-1, [1] was derived from a much-improved proposal by Friedrich Gerke in 1848 that became known as the "Hamburg alphabet", its only real defect being the use of an excessively long code ( and later the equal duration code ...
Long Live CW (Morse Code), wishing you many happy CW contacts 88: Love and kisses: 92 Code: 99: Get lost! An amateur radio Morse code conversation example.
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.
In 1832, Jonathan the Seychelles giant tortoise (Aldabrachelys gigantea hololissa) was born. Although his exact birthdate is unknown, he has been given the official birthday of December 4, 1832.
The procedure signs below are compiled from the official specification for Morse Code, ITU-R M.1677, International Morse Code, [1] while others are defined the International Radio Regulations for Mobile Maritime Service, including ITU-R M.1170, [8] ITU-R M.1172, [4] and the Maritime International Code of Signals, [5] with a few details of their ...
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.
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.

A signal lamp (sometimes called an Aldis lamp or a Morse lamp [1]) is a visual signaling device for optical communication by flashes of a lamp, typically using Morse code. The idea of flashing dots and dashes from a lantern was first put into practice by Captain Philip Howard Colomb , of the Royal Navy, in 1867.
