I posted this elsewhere


Years ago I had to learn Morse, here are some tips I was told to help.

Start with the easy ones, we all know SOS … _ _ _ …

Then the 1 and 2 dot dashes

E .
T _
I ..
M _ _

N _ . and A . _ are symmetrical

The the 3s
O and S we already know ^

K _ . _ and R . _ . are "inverse" of each other

U . . _ and G _ _ . again Inverse also U sounds like V (later)

W . _ _ and D _ . . inverse D also = DAD did it

The 4s can be the easiest, you have longer to think about it

C _ . _ . think CHAR lie CHAR lie (capitals = dash say these long. small = dot)
F . . _ . did it HURT you (adult mind required here)
L . _ . . it HURT like ell
Y _ . _ _ YO ko HA MA

leaves

X _ . . _ and P . _ _ . inverse

H . . . .

and my favorite V . . . _ dum dum dum DUMMM from the longest day film

Z _ _ . .

B _ . . . and J . _ _ _

have I missed any?


Hope that helps some. Best to learn it in pairs of letters and get use to the "sound" of it

Cheers Moby
