#Morse code code#

The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.Д«ut, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate - we can not consecrate - we can not hallow - this ground. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. This page is dedicated to the lost art of Morse code, which is able to communicate more information over greater distances, in the presence of poorer atmospheric conditions and interfering signals, than any other method.ДЇour score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Many celebrated this change for a number of reasons - modern wireless communications no longer relies on Morse, even over long distances and critical applications, and the requirement was stopping many people from getting ham radio licenses and starting an interesting hobby.ДЇrom my perspective, now that Morse is a dead art, my interest has increased - sort of like wanting to learn Latin on realizing no one speaks it any more.

In 2007 the (U.S.) Federal Communications Commission dropped the requirement that ham radio operators be able to send and receive Morse code (similar changes have taken place in commercial and military radio operations). pilots or air traffic controller license, though these individuals often have a basic understanding of the code.The above Morse code means 'Calling any distant ( DX) stations, this is ham radio operator KE7ZZ calling and listening.'ДЇrom a modern perspective Morse code has a number of drawbacks including a data rate much slower than voice or modern digital methods, but over long distances, in adverse conditions or with little transmitter power available, it has been the preferred mode for reliable point-to-point communications - until recently. Popular with amateur radio operators, this code is no longer required if you want to get a U.S.

His code used the pulse and breaks between them to transmit information. Samuel Morse developed the foundation for Morse code in the 1800s when he worked with an electrical telegraph system sending pulses of electric current and an electromagnet.

While this code covers the basic Latin alphabet and Arabic numerals, extensions to the code cover languages that use more than the Latin alphabet letters. This code can also be useful when poor signal conditions exist, and the human voice is difficult to decode. SOS is a common distress signal using three dashes and three dots and uses Morse code.ДЄn observer can understand Morse code without special equipment which can be an advantage in, for example, an emergency situation. Some applications include amateur radio and aeronautical aids such as VORs. These dits/dots and dahs/dashes provide the code. Morse code covers Latin letters with some extensions for non-Latin letters, Arabic numbers, and punctuation. The recipient can understand the message without additional decoding equipment.
