SIGNALS
- If the tapping sound or flashing light represents Morse code, there’s always someone around that can interpret the message.
- When Morse Code is used, the interpreter will call out words as they are being sent, rather than letters. Furthermore, a single word is represented by a few “beeps”, and all words are sent at the same rate, no matter how long the word is. Example:
beep-beep-be-beep…
“Help…”
be-be-beep beep…
“Us…”
beep-be-be-beep beep…
“We’re…”
beep beep-be-beep…
“Surrounded…”
be-beep beep beep…
“Send…”
be-be-be-beep beep…
“Reinforcements…”
beep be-beep beep…
“Hurry…”
etc.
- A message in Morse Code will start several seconds before someone actually interprets it; however, no information is lost, as the message actually begins when the interpreter starts to read it.
