Morse Code Day - April 27th, 2025

Morse Code Day is just around the corner, folks! Mark your calendars for April 27th, 2025, because we're about to celebrate the most iconic mode of communication in history - Morse Code!

A Little History - Morse Code was invented by Samuel Finley Breese Morse and his colleagues in the 1830s, with the first transmission taking place on January 6, 1838. Originally used for telegraph communication, Morse Code became an essential tool for the US Navy and other military organizations during World War I and II. It was also used by early radio operators and remains a vital skill for sailors, pilots, and other professionals to this day!

The Magic of Morse Code lies in its simplicity and universality. Using a series of dots and dashes to represent letters, numbers, and symbols, Morse Code can be transmitted and received through various mediums - from telegraph machines to flashlight signals, and even tap dancing (yes, you read that right!)!

Traditions Galore! On Morse Code Day, enthusiasts and newcomers alike come together to celebrate this remarkable technology. Here are some fun ways people observe this special day:
