Morse Code Communication Techniques

Mr. Homeschool introduces Morse code, its history, and its use with light signals, particularly in the Navy. He explains the basics of Morse code, including the use of dots and dashes, and demonstrates how to send and receive messages using a flashlight as a substitute for a searchlight. The video covers the phonetic alphabet and provides practical examples of sending and deciphering messages.
