Hog-Morse For instance, the international code has only two symbols, dots and dashes, but the American code has several lengths of dash. There is a distinction between "L" () and "T" (). Also, in the international code the space between symbols within a character is always the same, but American Morse has two different spaces. The letters "S" (), "C" (), and "R" () all consist of three dots, but the timing is different in each case. A frequently quoted, but possibly apocryphal, story from the historical period concerns the similarity of "L" and "T" in the American code. A company
Morse code abbreviations only. To station S1 from station S2. Roger (R) Thank you (TU) see you again (CUAGN) Best regards (73) To station S1 from station S2: Signing off. In International Morse code there is no "distinct" dot-dash sequence defined only for the mathematical equal sign [=]; rather the same code ("–···–" or "dah di di di dah") is shared by "double hyphen" [=] and the procedural sign for "section separator" notated as . It is fairly common in the "Recommended International Morse Code" for punctuation codes to be shared with prosigns. For example, the code for plus or cross [+] is
