learn Morse code

Stoney Creek International Weekend Morse Code Event This is a quick and easy way to show your boys and learn Morse Code.Original idea by Max Sernoffsky, from Buffalo, NY.Some adaptations, explainations, and ideas added by Chris Rankin, from Hermitage, PA. - An easy way to remember which side is dot and which side is dash for signalling with flags: Your council strip is shaped like a dash, and is on your left sleeve. The patrol medallion is shaped like a dot, and is on the right.- Remember, both hands in front of your body indicate a new word.- There are never more than 4 dots or dashes in a row (in the alphabet). This works a whole lot better after you copy this over to a sheet of papera couple of times. It seems to stick in your mind better, too (text drawingslike these usually tend to be rather crude; recopy this freehand onto paperbefore distributing). -----------------------------------------------------------------------------O's denote where the heavy dots in the drawing should be.X's denote where the heavy lines in the drawing should be. These are there to help give a visual picture of the letter.----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ONE DOT: O--- Think of the dot in the upper left hand corner(letter E) of the E. --- --- TWO DOTS: /-----\ /-----\ Think of two human eyes (hence, the letter(letter I) O O I). the pupils are the dots. \-----/ \-----/ THREE DOTS: /--O--- Three dots running down the middle of the letter(letter S) help you remember the letter S. \--O--\ ---O--/ FOUR DOTS: O O The four dots in the four corners of the letter help(letter H) --- you remember the letter H. O O
