What is the SOS signal?
What is the SOS signal?
A distress signal used in emergencies, consisting of three dots, three dashes, and three dots (···---···).
What type of signals did early radios use?
What type of signals did early radios use?
Early radios could only transmit using Morse code, a system of short and long signals representing letters and numbers.
Why is Morse code used in aeronautics?
Why is Morse code used in aeronautics?
Ground navigation aids, like radio beacons, still use Morse code for identification. It's a reliable and simple system.
