Morse code flashcards

About this flashcards

Learn or refresh you knowledge on morse code and NATO phonetic alphabet using this deck of flashcards. Flashcard is a method to accelerate the learning process.

Compared to physical cards our e-deck has 3 faces: one with the alphanumeric values (A to Z and 0 to 9), one with the NATO phonetic version (Alpha, Bravo, Charlie) and finally a third face with the morse code associated to the character. Happy learning!

NATO phonetic

The NATO phonetic alphabet is the most widely used radiotelephone spelling alphabet. Each of the 26 character of the alphabet are associated with a code word: for example A is Alpha.

Morse code

Morse code is a way to encode alphabetic and numeric characters into a sequence of two different durations called dots and dashes.

Spreadsheet construction

The spreadsheet has 4 tabs: one for each side of the card and a last one for all the data. Note: this data tab is hidden in the sample file. To do so, right-click on the tabs in Excel and choose “Unhide” to show the missing tab.

We make use of the RANDBETWEEN function to pick an integer between 1 and the length of the table of data. By using INDEX in each tab, we retrieve the character, morse code or phonetic associated to the integer.
