Alphabet is recommended when it is
necessary to clarify the spelling of a word.
It is very easy to be confused between the
letters B and P, M and N etc. when speaking
over the radio or telephone For example
‘TOM’ you would pronounce this as :-
Tango Oscar Mike.
International Morse Code
Samual Fineley Breese Morse (1791-1872)
an American, was the inventor of the Morse
Code and the promotor of the
electromagnetic (wire) telegraph. It was not
until 1895 that Senatore Guilielmo Marconi
successfully demonstrated wireless
telegraphy which is still used by professional
and amateur radio operators today.
Two different pulse lengths called (dit)
and (dah) in different combinations
make up the alphabet and numerals shown
opposite. Additional combinations are used
for full stop, comma and hyphen etc.
A is equal to in time while
the space between the and in a
letter equals a in time. Space between
two letters in a word is equal to
and between two words .
Example:- A = di dah C = dah di dah dit
E = dit.
