How is the Morse alphabet

We have all seen a working telegraph . This great invention, used to communicate remotely, was invented by the American Morse in 1836. Letters numbers and signals are formed by combining points and lines transmitted by electrical impulses. Well, learn the Morse code, that we give you the main data, and you can talk through the wall with whoever is in the next room. In this case the point will be a dry tap. The line will be a soft tap.

Morse code numbers

In the attached image we show you how to make the numbers in the Morse alphabet.

The letters in the Morse alphabet

The Morse alphabet works by pointing letter by letter. It is a slow but very useful system for transmitting information over long distances.

Morse alphabet letters

The shorter letters of the Morse alphabet are the T and the E that are a bar and a point respectively.

Signals for Morse communication

The generic Morse code signals are the point, interrogative point, invitation to transmit, fi and start signal of the conversation. If an error is made in transmitting the message in morse, the "error" signal is eight short signals (...).

How to learn Morse code

The Morse code is difficult to learn, so to facilitate learning is often used a mnemonic rule, which allows you to learn by a code consisting of assigning each letter a certain keyword, which begins with the letter you want to remember. Then it is enough to replace each vowel of the keyword with a point or a line according to the following rule:

  • The initial of the keyword is the corresponding letter.
  • The number of vowels contained in the keyword indicates the length of the morse coding of that letter.
  • If the vowel is an O, it is replaced by a line (-)
  • If it is any other vowel it is replaced by a period (ยท)
  • When replacing, only the points and stripes obtained up to the entire morse length will be taken into account.
Tips
  • To transmit the points or lines by traditional telegraph, that is to say in the one invented by Morse, the electric circuit in the transmitter is closed by pressing its manipulator for a short or longer time, respectively.
