He and the other 6 crew were all pulled off the mountain, alive, 13 days later, because of that coded message - which had to be sent and received right.

D = dah di dit or Dah did it, Z = dah dah di dit or dah dah did it. Q = dah dah di dah or pay day to day. P = (phonetic was peter) di dah dah dit or the girls love it. These little aids helped us learn the complete alphabet in roughly 30 hours. 65 years later I can still copy morse code at a speed of 15 words per minute. Its like knowing another language.

Im really suprised that the letter E is the shortest, because we use it the most. Just shows hom much thought went into morse code.

My father was a Navy Signalman during World War II. This would be using Morse Lamp. He said that operators used to "compete" with each other-- that by putting your lamp flashing down at the start of a message, the sender was to send as fast as he could. The implication was that the receiver could handle anything that the sender could throw at him, at any speed.

[@cgwrrkid]

Us old guys had to learn international morse for a HAM license. As the video points out it has two lengths of spaces between dots and dashes making up a letters. For a real challenge learn railroad morse which has three lengths of spaces. For example, in RR morse, dot small space dot is "i", dot medium space dot is "o", dot long space dot is "e e". With the fading in and out of a radio signal one can imagine why the railroad morse was discarded in favor of the simpler to hear and copy international system. Many old railroad telegraphers could easily send and receive at 40 to 60 wpm. Train orders, having to be absolutely correct, were repeated back after copied.

[@pickin7654]

For a long time, I've had a question about sending and receiving messages via Morse Code.

How do you get around that problem?

Always be listening 🤷🏼‍♂️ or repeat the message once it's done

You scheduled as much as possible in advance, but obviously that doesn't work for everything especially in a military context. On ships you had a radio operator on station and that would would be a 24 hour job taken by sailors in shifts. if a mobile station (like a commander of ground forces) that can not be on air all the time because they are on the move needed to send a message to another mobile station (like their troops in the field) the commander would send the message to a 24 hour station like a ship, the 24 hour station would copy the message and then the troops in the field would eventually call to check in with the 24 hour station to see if there were any messages for them and the 24 station would then relay the message. Now days the army uses Email by satellite and are setting up their own version of discord servers :)

so the telegraph works by slashes and dots , there is an alphebet of them to learn, also to use it you need to note it down and translate it to see what it says . The morse code was named by Samuel Morse, so it was called "morse code". Morse ma morse code because his wife was very sick and he tried to get in contact with her but it was too late because she was dead and already baried. To make it he was helped by a young man intrested in his progect, ( btw he was an artist but always had science at the top of his mind) . Morse code is also used for difrently abled people , have you ever been in a place were there was wierd dots and slashes belive it or not it was MORSE CODE!
