For amateur radio licensing, 5 WPM (words per minute) is typically required. Professional operators often work at 20-25 WPM. Start slow and gradually increase speed with our speed testing tools.

What is Morse Code?

Morse Code Basics

Morse code is a method of transmitting text information as a series of on-off tones, lights, or clicks. Each letter and number is represented by a unique sequence of dots (.) and dashes (-).

Morse Code History

Developed in the 1830s by Samuel Morse and Alfred Vail, Morse code was widely used for telegraphy and remains important for amateur radio, aviation, and emergency communications.
