"9 dits and a dah...... " ???????

'Dah dit dah dit - dah dah dit dah'

cq cq cq ........

all ships, all ships, all ships........

Philip and Steve -

I'm very slow !!
thanks....
laughed out loud at that one......

 

[MM5AHO]

"...laughed out loud at that one......"

Always wondered about that one. Is there another way to laugh than "out loud"?

dah dit dah

 

[stephenh]

How about

'laughing quietly to oneself' ?

not "all ships" but the general call sign on RF. still used by ham radio operators, repeaters and a few other things.

like a lot of other really obsolete things (sextants for example! ), Morse is kept going by the sentimentalists /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Hi - thanks for the nice comments about my little site.

Not sure about morse being 'obsolete' however, though I fully admit to being a sentimentalist regarding it.

Though its not used commercially anymore and its on the way out internationally for radio amateur licensing, there are certainly real-life uses for it, especially in emergencies. From a radio point of view (lets not forget morse can be used with lights, taps on hulls etc) CW performs a lot better than SSB at getting a message from point A to B with the same power. Modern digital modes may be better, but they depend on laptops and/or sophisticated radios, which can easily go wrong. If you can get a transmitter to key up, then you've got CW.

Anyhow - thanks again /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
