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.
