Notes
If the duration of a dot is taken to be one unit then that of a dash is
three units. The space between the components of one character is one
unit, between characters is three units and between words seven
units. To indicate that a mistake has been made and for the receiver to
delete the last word, send di-di-di-di-di-di-di-dit (eight dots).
The prosigns are combinations of two letters sent together with no space in between. The other abbreviations and Q codes are sent with the normal spacing.
