What's Morse code?
Morse Code is Samuel Morse at 1830. A signal code invented in the age. It represents different letters, numbers and points symbols through different combinations of points (Dit) and row (Dah). As the first digital means of communication in human history, it played a significant role in the telegraphic age, the safety of navigation and modern radio communications.
Moose's code is the basic rule.
- Point (.): Basic time unit.
- Row (-): The length equals three points.
- Character interval: It's equal to three points.
- Word interval: It's seven points.

Classic sign in history: SOS
SOS (...) It's an international distress signal. A common error is that it's "Save Our Ship" or "Save Our" Souls' abbreviation, it doesn't actually have any word for it, just because in Morse code... It is very easy to send and very visible. When the Titanic crashed in 1912, the crew sent this distress signal, and from that point on, SOS... The new CQD is a global standard.
