[Fists] Fwd: Try the Morse Quiz

[Cheryl W. Ring]

Of course, Stan also knows that the punctuation marks should be complete and 
give their typographical symbols!

Period (.)     .-.-.-
Comma ( , )    - -..- -
Question Mark ( ? ) ..- -..
End of Message ( + )  .-.-.
End of Transmission ( SK )  ...-.-
Break  ( BK )   -...-.-
Double Dash or Equal Sign (=) -....-

Besides AR meaning plus, and BT meaning equals sign, hyphen -....- means 
minus sign, and the letter X is used for multiplication, and the slant sign 
(DN) / is used for division.

Thus 2-1/2 would be sent as:

2 hyphen 1 slant sign 2

Just as it is typed!

73/88/33

less freqently used punctuation marks and special signals.

For a challenge, go to Item 11 on the index page and click on QUIZ.

We've had ten winners to date, see if you can join them.
