Learn Morse Code...

Learn Morse Code...
Ever wonder whats that beeping sound heard in a submarine at the movies? Well you've just heard Morse code being sent to another decoder. Morse code had been so popular (to the army) since World War II but nowadays, few are in its use.

I believe that Morse code are annoying in the ear but fun when reading it. And we see that as if Morse code was taken out of the air (randomly thought of it) it has hidden characteristics on it. You have to find them out if you want to know.

Of course you know that Morse code only consist of . (short mark, dot or dit) and a - (longer mark, dash or dah).

International Morse code is composed of five elements:

1. short mark, dot or 'dit' -----------------------------------------------------------------one unit long
2. longer mark, dash or 'dah' ----------------------------------------------------------three units long
3. intra-character gap (between the dots and dashes within a character)----one unit long
4. short gap (between letters)-------------------------------------------------------------three units long
5. medium gap (between words)--------------------------------------------------------seven units long

Morse code can be transmitted in a number of ways: originally as electrical pulses along a telegraph wire, but also as an audio tone, a radio signal with short and long tones, or as a mechanical or visual signal (e.g. a flashing light) using devices like an Aldis lamp or a heliograph. But for you, we shall just do my way and what I mean is Decode and Read.

Each character is separated with 3 spaces and words are separated with 7 spaces so if we put this into enlish characters, it will be: M O R S E C O D E
Example is the word Morse Code and the Morse code is "-- --- .-. ... . -.-. --- -.. . "(Note: This does not look like international but this appeared in my Mores code software)
Look at the picture below to see if it is correct. If not, please comment me.

This chart is even harder to understand than the traditional way.

This website translates Morse code. http://www.qbit.it/lab/morse.php?text=a+bc&midi=1

I think it's better to put audio files here because they'll probably be using audio cues in morse code.

I learned morse code many years ago.  There is something strangely satisfying about tapping out the coded messages.... that is difficult to explain.  It is a talent few people posess , but i recommend learning it to youngsters feeling bored or "jaded" with life.  Build an audio
oscillator and attach your Code Key.  Practice sending and receiving with
a friend.  Soon you will have a talent that NONE of your friends have!  I think it gives a knowledge that you can accomplish difficult tasks while having
fun too.  This "useless" talent can lead you to good employment opportunities in electronics or communications or solar/wind power.

I like to use morse code to send emails to friends. I believe that I got the morse code font at prettyfonts.com all thought I'm not sure I have used it for a couple years. I believe that I got hand signs (ASL) as a font which I use also to make PDF's to sent to some HOH(hard of hearing) friends. Handsign font makes a neat way to send emails that most people seeing the email will not know what is written.

Morse Code font?! I love it!
Jun 12, 2009. 6:10 AMmaruawe says:
glad that you like the font , Make it available to your email friend and it' more fun

As another eager Morse Code user (KA1DNO), I've never seen the Morse Code Tree before...fascinating!

I believe the beeping sound on the submarines you heard was actually SONAR, an underwater sounding and detection system. There are thousands of Amateur Radio operators world wide who still use Morse Code on a daily basis and enjoy it immensely.

I couldn't agree more! I'm one of those that enjoy Morse code, when I use it. I was actually just listening to two American CW operators having a chat a few minutes ago in Morse code on the radio. It's alive and well! =]
