Morse Code FAQ

Morse code is a character encoding system using sequences of dots (·) and dashes (−) to represent letters, numbers, and punctuation. Developed by Samuel Morse and Alfred Vail in the 1830s, it was widely used in telegraphy. It is still used in aviation (VOR station identifiers), amateur radio, and emergency signaling (SOS: ... --- ...).

WPM (Words Per Minute) measures Morse code speed. The standard word used for calibration is "PARIS" (. - - . . . - . - . . . . . . .). One unit = 1200 ÷ WPM milliseconds. A dot is 1 unit, a dash is 3 units, gap between parts is 1 unit, gap between letters is 3 units, gap between words is 7 units.

SOS is the international distress signal: ... --- ... (three dots, three dashes, three dots). It was chosen because it is easy to transmit and recognize, not because of any specific phrase. In practice, "Save Our Souls" or "Save Our Ship" are popular backronyms assigned after adoption.
