Morse code is a method used in telecommunication to encode text characters as standardized sequences of two different signal durations, called dots (short signals) and dashes (long signals). It was named after Samuel Morse, one of the inventors of the telegraph.
Ham radio operators still use Morse code (CW) because it requires very little bandwidth and can be received even with high background noise.
The SOS signal (... --- ...) is universally recognized and can be transmitted via light (flashlights) or sound (tapping) in survival situations.
