MORSE CODE REFERENCE

-.-

BRIEFING

In International Morse code the letter K is -.-: 1 dit and 2 dahs, 9 units long (about 540 ms at 20 WPM).

It sounds like "dah-di-dah".

In MORSE HQ's Koch training, K is character 1 of 41.

How to remember it

Learn it by sound instead of counting dots and dashes. Say "dah-di-dah" out loud, then listen to it at full speed.

Like the Koch method, hearing characters at your target speed (15-20 WPM) from day one makes it easier to speed up later.
