On the Subject of Morse Code
An antiquated form of naval communication? What next? At least it’s genuine Morse Code, so pay attention and you might just learn something.
- Interpret the signal from the flashing light using the Morse Code chart to spell one of the words in the table.
- The signal will loop, with a long gap between repetitions.
- Once the word is identified, set the corresponding frequency and press the transmit (TX) button.
