Morse Code Numbers 0-9
Master all 10 digits in Morse code. Numbers follow a logical pattern that makes them easier to learn once you understand the rule.
The Number Pattern Rule
All numbers in Morse code are exactly 5 elements long. The pattern follows a simple rule:
- Numbers 1-5: Start with dits (●), followed by dahs (▬)
- Numbers 6-0: Start with dahs (▬), followed by dits (●)
The number of dits equals the digit for 1-5, and equals (10 - digit) for 6-9 and 0.
