Years ago I had to learn Morse, here are some tips I was told to help.

Start with the easy ones, we all know SOS … _ _ _ …

Then the 1 and 2 dot dashes

E  .
T  _
I  ..
M  _ _

N _ .  and A . _ are symmetrical

The the 3s
O and S we already know ^

K   _ . _ and R   . _ . are "inverse" of each other

U . . _ and G  _ _ . again Inverse also U sounds like V (later)

W  . _ _ and D _ . .  inverse

The 4s can be the easiest, you have longer to think about it

C   _ . _ .     think CHAR lie CHAR lie  (capitals = dash say these long. small = dot)
F   . . _ .       did it HURT you    (adult mind required here)
L   . _ . .       it HURT like ell
Y _ . _ _     YO ko HA  MA

leaves

X   _ . . _ and  P . _ _ .  inverse

H . . . .

and my favorite V . . . _  dum dum dum DUMMM from the longest day film

Z _ _ . .

B _ . . .  and J . _ _ _   Wink

have I missed any?


Hope that helps some. Best to learn it in pairs of letters and get use to the "sound" of it

Cheers Moby
