Introduction

In Ireland on February 1 1999 the last official message was transmitted by means of Morse code.

This code will no longer be applied, because it is replaced by other means of transmitting in which communication satellites are used.

The code was invented by Samuel Morse...

Many people think we should still be using Morse Code because of the small amount of electrical power needed to send this sort of signal over a large distance and Morse Code has saved many peoples lives in many different situations all over the world.

Still the powers that be have made the decision for us - But there is nothing to stop you learning Morse Code for fun, and you never know, it may be very helpful one day.

(My children and I had the Morse keys and we learned Morse Code. I have not used Morse Code for about 16 years now.

It was a fun experience learning Morse Code with the children. - 21-1-2021)

All the best from
