National Morse Code Day!

As we approach the 80th commemoration of D-Day we take a little look at the role that morse code played in WWII. Before Morse code, people didn’t even know electrical impulses could be used to send messages miles away almost instantaneously. It signaled a turn in communication systems everywhere, and the world has only advanced since that time. It’s been around so long — almost 160 years — that even historians agree it takes the top spot as the world’s first digital code. No other electrical coding system came close.
