The Pattern Behind Morse Code Numbers
Unlike letters, morse code numbers follow a perfectly logical pattern that makes them easy to memorize once you understand the rule:
Numbers 1-5 (Start with Dots)
The number of dots at the beginning equals the digit. The remaining positions are dashes.
- 1 = .---- (1 dot, 4 dashes)
- 2 = ..--- (2 dots, 3 dashes)
- 3 = ...-- (3 dots, 2 dashes)
- 4 = ....- (4 dots, 1 dash)
- 5 = ..... (5 dots)
Numbers 6-9 (Start with Dashes)
10 minus the number equals the count of dashes at the beginning.
- 6 = -.... (1 dash, 4 dots)
- 7 = --... (2 dashes, 3 dots)
- 8 = ---.. (3 dashes, 2 dots)
- 9 = ----. (4 dashes, 1 dot)
Zero (0) is simply five dashes: -----
