The article says, "Morse code is harder to send by tapping or banging because it requires the ability to create two clearly distinguishable forms of tap, such as varying the pitch or volume."

I am a amateur radio operator, Morse code has nothing to do with pitch or volume. It is timing of tone and no tone.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morse_code "Representation, timing, and speeds".<br />

International Morse code is composed of five elements:<br />

1. dit ( ▄ ): is one time unit long<br />

2. dah ( ▄▄▄ ): three time units long<br />

3. inter-element gap between the dits and dahs within a character: one dot duration or one unit long<br />

4. short gap (between letters): three time units long<br />

5. medium gap (between words): seven time units long.<br />

Revised sentance, "Morse code is harder to send by tapping or banging because Morse code is time based on signal present or not present."<br /><br /> [[User:Jchaney44145|Jchaney44145]] ([[User talk:Jchaney44145|talk]]) 21:51, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
