What Is Morse Code?
You might have wondered why we mentioned the term morse code in the title, and what this has to do with the 2016 US Presidential Election. If you haven’t heard of morse code, or you don’t know what it is, don’t worry. The information in this section will be useful to you nevertheless.
Morse code was an early form of telegraph communication invented by American telegraphist Samuel Morse in the mid 19th century. Morse code is still used by amateur radio operators, and other forms of digital communication. It comprises an ever-increasing series of dots and dashes that are transmitted by means of a simple telegraph key.
Here’s how it works: a person will press down the telegraph key for a specific amount of time, and send a dot or dash. This person will then release the key, and key down again for another specific amount of time, to send another dot or dash. The dots and dashes are the letters of the alphabet, as well as punctuation marks, numbers, etc.
