无聊小站

在这收音机，电视，电脑网络流行的年代，Morse Code莫尔斯码已经被抛弃了。

The language of dots and dashes has been the lingua franca of amateur radio, a vibrant community of technology buffs and hobbyists who have provided a communications lifeline in emergencies and disasters.

But that community has been shaken by news that the government will no longer require Morse Code proficiency as a condition for an amateur license. It was deemed dispensable in part because other modes of communicating over ham radio, like voice, teletype and even video, have grown in popularity.

—— New York Times: Morse Code: A Fading Signal

以前学过这个东西的，在传达较短的内容比较方便，内容一长就头大了。以前打战的时候最流行的语言。不过现在都忘记到完了，不过我依然记得SOS怎么做。

如果你有手电筒的话，可以用flash来SOS。就是“短短短长长长短短短”地闪着你的灯。如果是声音的话，那就“di.di.di.dah.dah.dah.di.di.di”。学着，搞不好很好用。

这就像当现在很多公司都靠着高科技时，忽然有天网络不行了（就像这几天），他们还是得学着如何用笔和纸来运作。

在这里找来了一个莫尔斯码翻译器，各位可以玩玩看，搞不好有人会用它来写blog。
