Learn your name in Morse Code day!

Hi all,

 

Much of hosting is about communication, and while using words is fine, wouldn't it be even better if we could transmit what we want to say in a series of signals?? Most of us know how to signal SOS in Morse Code, but what about the rest of the alphabet?

 

Today is 'Learn your name in Morse Code day' and in order to celebrate, I think we should learn something new (unless you already happen to be fluent in Morse Code..) and try signalling our names.

 

Have a look at the Morse Code Alphabet below and write out your names in the appropriate combination of dots and dashes - if you're feeling adventurous, why not write a short sentence in code for us to try and crack?

 

....  .-  ...-   .    ..-.  ..-  -. !

 

-.-  ..  .-.  ...  -  ..  .

For Lizzie!

 

"My name is Lizzie

How is your day going?"

 

Yay!  This is harder than I imagined!  Fun learning a new "language" and way of communicating.  Debbie

Great idea for everyone! I found a large, mid-line height dot on my phone, yet not on the computer, and wondering why there is not one?  Any ideas?  Thanks. I have another request, so I will use Morse code for the question, and sign my name as well!  Thank you. Debbie **

Hi @Marcus33 - Wow that's quite a long one! 

 

I started to decode it but I stopped as I can see it's addressed to @Debbie_Jim0

 

"Hi Debbie and Jim..."

 

I'll let them finish! 😉

Hi @Debbie_Jim0,

 

It is surprisingly hard isn't it! Takes longer than you think. I'm glad you're enjoying the challenge! 

Good job on the codes above, here is my attempt at cracking yours (a couple of letters don't seem to fit so i'll guess what they are)!

 

"Hi,

I need rules for long tekm (term) air snb (bnb) please.

Debbie **"

 

I hope that's right! I haven't included your surname for your security, as this is a public forum.

 

I've made this slightly easier by separating out the words!

 

.. ' -- / -. --- - / ... ..- .-. . / .. / ..- -. -.. . .-. ... - .- -. - .. / -.-- --- ..- .-. / --.- ..- . ...  -  .. --- -. /

.-- .... .-  - / -.- .. -. -.. / --- ..-. / .-. ..- .-..  .  ...?

 

Kirstie

yes, spreading out the words was a trick it took a few words to realize, how do we determine words, from others? Then, pucntuation, rules on it?  THEN, sentences? I enjoyed it and will get back, take care and have a lovely week, Debbie

Hi @J-C-and-Lory0,

 

Welcome to the Community Center!

 

Here's my attempt - I've put dots where you have put some extra letters but I'm not sure what they are :

 

"Hi... this is fun... I need help with people not doing their review... I think they are waiting to see mine... the host... first,  then they will write theirs... Please explain to me how this works. Thank you"
