Morse Code

Originally created for Samuel Morse's electric telegraph in the mid-1830s, it was also extensively used for early radio communication beginning in the 1890s. However, with the development of more advanced communications technologies, the widespread use of Morse code is now largely obsolete.

When using morse code, the duration of a dash is equal to the time for three dots. A space between parts of the same letter is equal in duration of one dot. A space between two letters is equal in duration to three dots and a space between two words is equal to the length of five dots.

Please use a period (.) for a dot and a minus (-) for a dash. When typing morse code, use a space to separate letters and a double space to separate words.
