Someone asked me about the difference between Morse code and Morse code. ;)
I remember receiving a book on Samuel Morse years ago when I was a teenager and the table confused me to no end until I learned the difference. ;)
It would have been so much less confusing had they labelled it Vail code but that's not what happened eh?

September 25th - Happy Morse Code Day!

Why September 25th? It is the birthday of Alfred Vail, the true originator and developer of Samuel Morse's code.

The Army's Signal Corps chose Camp Vail as the name for what eventually became Fort Monmouth, NJ.

Morse code is still used today by radio amateurs and some militaries. If you're a radio amateur, you can get on the air anytime and almost always find someone to converse with... in code!
