C-.-.
Remembering C
- It sounds like dah-di-dah-dit. Say it out loud as you listen, and learn the rhythm rather than counting dots and dashes.
- C has 4 signals: 2 dots and 2 dashes. It takes 11 units of time to send, where a dot is one unit.
- C is roughly the 12th most common letter in English. Morse code gives the shortest codes to the commonest letters, which is why rarer letters like C are longer.
