How do I work with "Morse Code"?

Answer 1

For the enlightenment of amanssci... Morse Code is alive and doing quite nicely across all the amateur radio bands, where it is one of the favorite modes of communication between hams all over the world.

Two points to remember: In poor radio conditions, a morse code signal will always get through much easier, since the transmitter's energy is focused on generating one single tone (continuous wave) instead of reproducing the entire range of a human voice. Also, it is reasonable easy to construct a simple transmitter capable of worldwide morse code communication
using only parts and pieces from damaged equipment (such as a boat wreck or plane crash).

I use morse code on the air nearly every day, and I can assure you that it is often difficult to find space to start a new conversation because of all the other morse code activity. It's a loooooooong way from being dead or relegated to a museum.

Answer 2

The morse code consists of a series of dot and dashes for each letter and numeral. Dots are for short sounds Dashes for long sounds, On a mobile phone when one has the sms ring tone, it is sounding the letters sms in morse. Hence
... -- ... SOS is ... ---... The morse code can be sent via a special morse key for radio purposes or by lamp / torch providing there is a button on the lamp to interupt the beam of the lamp. There were special lamps callled aldis lamps for this purpose. I think I right in saying the Morse code was invented by a chap called Samuel Morse
You can do a search on the internet by typing in morse code

Answer 3

Are you a museum curator? Morse code was officially put out of service in 1999.

I don't know what the applications would be. We communicate much better with modern methods.

As for how to use Morse Code... well, if you really need to, you will have to learn it like everyone else in the past learned it... the hard way.

Good Luck!

Answer 4

The Wikipedia article ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morse_code ) is fairly extensive.

[EDIT]
Thats pretty cute Goblin, but hard to read in a proportional font.
Oh, ok, I'm a little slow, I didn't look at your link until after I read the message, that link doesn't care about font.
By the way, psychologists call that projection.

Answer 5

You need to expand your question. Are you talking about the system of using long and short tones to form words or something else?
