In what is being regarded as the final nail in its coffin, the US Federal Communications commission recently dropped the knowledge of the age-old Morse Code as a prerequisite to apply for an Amateur Radio (aka Ham Radio) license. Well, If you belong to the dizzying age of satellite communication, Internet and cellphones buzzing with SMS every few minutes, perhaps news of the demise of this ageold communication technology would not make you even bat an eyelid. However, one must sit up and take notice – this was after all the basis of all telecommunication!

The language of dots and dashes, also referred to as dits and dahs to represent the English alphabet has quite an interesting history. The language was originally developed by Samuel Morse and Alfred Vail to send signals by wire. After further advancements, the technology became an indispensable communication medium around the world, particularly in the army, navy & air force. But then, with new technologies coming to the fore, the importance has come down. “Today we have multi-band, microprocessor-controlled radios that have such capabilities (like DSPs and signal processing) to make Morse less and less a necessity, and more a part of the hobby,” comments Michael Puchol, CTO, Whisher and wireless technology expert.
