For learning Morse code it is recommended that you do not try to remember dots and dashes, but remember the Morse code soundsinstead.
Morse code is a method for transmitting telegraphic information, using standardized sequences of short and long elements to represent the letters, numerals, punctuation and special characters of a message. The short and long elements can be formed by sounds, marks, or pulses, in on off keying and are commonly known as "dots" and "dashes" or "dits" and "dahs." Morse code can be transmitted in a number of ways: originally as electrical pulses along a telegraph wire, but also as an audio tone, a radio signal with short and long tones, or as a mechanical or visual signal (for example, a flashing light) using devices like an Aldis lamp or a heliograph. Morse code is transmitted using just two states (on and off) so it was an early form of a digital code. However, it is technically not binary, as the pause lengths are required to decode the information.
Originally created for Samuel F. B. Morse's electric telegraph in the early 1840s, Morse code was also extensively used for early radio communication beginning in the 1890s. For the first half of the twentieth century, the majority of high-speed international communication was conducted in Morse code, using telegraph lines, undersea cables, and radio circuits. However, the variable length of the Morse characters made it hard to adapt to automated circuits, so for most electronic communication it has been replaced by more machinable formats, such as Baudot code and ASCII. Use of Morse code revolutionized international communication. Ability to use a visual signal also meant that Morse code could be used to indicate distress and the need for assistance, whether from a life-boat at sea or from an isolated land location (signalling a searching rescue aircraft). Over the years, Morse has been used in inter-governmental communication, in commerce, in times of distress, it has helped to make warbut also peace. Its use is increasingly a matter of historical interest but few would dispute that it has made a contribution to human communication of incalculable value and significance.
