How to send it
- By sound. A short beep for a dot, a beep three times as long for a dash.
- With a flashlight. Short flash, long flash. Keep the light off for the length of three dots between letters.
- By tapping. Taps cannot be long or short, so leave a short pause after a dot and a longer one after a dash, or tap once for a dot and twice quickly for a dash.
- On a bracelet. A round bead for each dot, a long bead for each dash, and a spacer between letters. Mom needs 0 round and 7 long beads.
