Morse Code Alphabet
The Morse Code Alphabet (A to Z) is a communication system that uses a combination of short signals (dots) and long signals (dashes) to represent letters, numbers, and symbols.

Pronunciation Guide for Morse Code
In the world of Morse code, understanding how to pronounce the symbols is essential for effective communication. Here's a brief guide on how to pronounce Morse code symbols:
Dot (.) - "Dit": The dot, often referred to as "dit," is the shortest Morse code symbol. When spoken, it's pronounced as "dit," rhyming with "fit." Imagine it as a quick, sharp sound.
Dash (-) - "Dah": The dash, known as "dah," is the longer Morse code symbol. When spoken, it's pronounced as "dah," rhyming with "saw." It has a slightly longer duration compared to the dot.
Spacing: In Morse code, the spacing between symbols within a character is typically the length of one dot (dit), while the spacing between characters within a word is the length of three dots (dits), and the spacing between words is the length of seven dots (dits). This spacing ensures clarity in Morse code communication.
Example: For better understanding , let's take the Morse code for the letter "A," which is ".-" (dot-dah). When pronouncing this, you would say "dit-dah."
