In an SHTF or post apocalyptic world alternate means of communication may be re-born.
Morse code will enable the survivor and prepper to extend their range in tough circumstances.
Communicating as a prepper in an SHTF environment will be difficult, therefore it is imperative that all operators are aware of their transmission speed, especially using morse code.
When trying to communicate with other stations in Morse Code or trying to convey a message, there is no use sending too quickly! You will only be hounded with repetition requests.
Using the 'Q' code = QRS you can instruct the transmitting station to SEND SLOWER! It eases repetition and makes communication simpler!
DO NOT SHOW OFF!

Excellent collection, just checked it out (re-steemed)...
A good point of contact with a variety of stories.

Yeah, Morse Code will come back for some uses. Even though its bandwidth is risible compared to standard Internet: a master who manages 60 characters per second is transmitting one "byte" per seconds, or 8 BPS. One millionth the rate of economy DSL.
But if the S really hits the F, we'll take what we can get.
Speaking of Morse code and computing, I wonder if the ham radio geeks who tried to join amateur radio and computing cobbled together a Morse-codey way to transmit bytes, with dot standing for ) and dash standing for 1...
For example, using the good ol' ASCII chart, a space would be: ..-..... (0x20)

Thats an interesting concept... The most usefull use for morse code would be the establishment of communications in the harshest of conditions..... i like your 'out of the box' thinking with the ASCII idea.

Yeah: most likely after an EMP or other event that takes the entire grid down. Morse code does have the advantage that it can travel very long distances (via shortwave) on not-that-much power. You don't need to hear Morse clearly; you just need to hear it.
