🔍 Key Concepts

• International Morse Code timing standards for dots and dashes • The relationship between the basic time unit (the dot) and other elements in Morse Code • How intra-character spacing (between dots and dashes of the same letter) compares to dot and dash length

💭 Think About

• Think about which element in Morse Code is considered the basic unit of time and how all other elements are defined from it. • Recall how many of those basic units are used to form a dash compared to a single dot. • Consider how many basic units are used for the space between parts of the same letter, and whether a dash is longer or shorter than that spacing.

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear that the dot is the basic timing unit in Morse Code. • Confirm how many dot-lengths a dash is defined to last in standard timing. • Make sure you are not confusing the length of a dash with the space between letters or words, which use different multiples of the dot length.
