Radiotelegraphy by Morse code is the original modulation method used in Amateur Radio. The code is named after it's inventor, Samuel F. B. Morse (1791 - 1872). The Morse code consists of elements of unequal length. The short pulse is called a Dot (di), and the long pulse is a Dash (dah).There are unique combinations of dots and dashes for the letters of the alphabet, numerals, punctuation marks, procedure signals.

Morse Code Speed is measured in Words Per Minute, a word being five letters long. A figure or punctuation marks are counted as two letters. Count the number of letters and divide by the time in minutes and again by the five to get the speed in words per minute (WPM).
