Meer informatie over de Morse code



Invented by Samuel Morse in 1836, Morse Code is a method for sending and receiving text messages using short and long beeps. Conventionally, a short beep is called a dot and a long one is a dash (also known, respectively, as a dit and a dah). Every letter of the alphabet has a unique sequence of dots and dashes.

If you look at the morse-chart, the letter A is beep beeeeeep and the letter B is beeeeeep beep beep beep.

You don't necessarily need to use sound for this, although this is the most common way Morse Code was used. You can do it with anything that can be turned on and off; this could be a torch, raising and lowering a flag, or even just blinking your eyes quickly and slowly. This makes it one of the most versatile forms of telecommunication. There is even a formal international treaty which enshrines the Morse Code for SOS ... --- ... (Save Our Souls) as a universal distress signal.

In the 1890s Morse Code was adapted for use with early radio before it was possible to send and receive voice. This was done by simply sending pulses of a carrier wave at an agreed frequency. The recipient's radio would then just play an audible tone whenever the carrier was received. It was used extensively during both World Wars and is still used to this day by amateur radio operators.

There are three essentials to using Morse:

The choice of the dot and dash combination for each letter is not random. Samuel Morse based his decision on how often letters occurred in the English language used by his local newspaper. The more commonly-used a letter was, the fewer dots and dashes he chose, thereby making it faster to key in.
