What is Morse Code?
Morse code is a method of encoding text characters as sequences of dots (.) and dashes (-). Developed in the 1830s for telegraph communication, it is still used today in aviation, maritime communication, and amateur radio. The International Morse Code standard assigns a unique sequence to each letter and digit.

Learning Morse Code
The most common letters in English have the shortest codes: E is a single dot (.), T is a single dash (-). Numbers all use five signals. Practice by translating common words and phrases to build recognition speed.
