How to read Morse Code
Basically the Morse code is nothing but a combination of small and long signals which are known as dot and dash, or dit and dah. It may remind you of the binary format used in computers where everything is represented in 0 and 1. In a way, therefore Morse code can be said to be binary though technically speaking it is not binary in the exact sense but I will not go into those details here.
The Morse code was extensively used on ships by Radio Officers, a post which has almost become obsolete now at least in the modern commercial ships with the advent of GMDSS and related equipment, and the job role of the Radio Officer has been taken over by navigating officers such as the Junior officers, Chief mate or Master. In the list you can see the Alphabets from A to Z, numbers from 0 to 9 and special characters which are represented in Morse code. The symbol of a “period” represents a dot or dit; while the symbol of “underscore” represents a dash or dah. If you have difficulty reading this code given below is an image which shows the code for all alphabets in a more legible form (Courtesy: A.G. Reinhold, Cambridge)
