ITU-R M.1677-1 1 RECOMMENDATION ITU-R M.1677-1*International Morse code (2004-2009) Scope This Recommendation confirms the International Morse code characters and the operational provisions applying to their use in radiocommunication service
9、s*. The ITU Radiocommunication Assembly, considering a) that versions of the Morse code have been in use since 1844; b) that it continues to be used in some radiocommunication services including the amateur and amateur-satellite services, and to a diminishing extent in the mobile and fixed services;
10、 c) that the code needs to be updated from time-to-time to meet the needs of the radiocommunication services, recommends 1 that Annex 1 should be used to define the Morse code characters and their applications in the radiocommunication services. *Division B of ITU-T Recommendation F.1, which also ad
11、dressed the Morse code, has been withdrawn. 2 Rec. ITU-R M.1677-1 Annex 1 Operational provisions applying to Morse working Part I Morse code 1 Morse code signals 1.1 The following are the written characters that may be used and the corresponding Morse code signals: 1.1.1 Letters a . i . . r . . b .

ITU-R M.1677-1 3 Transmission of signs for which there is no corresponding signal in
17、 the Morse code 3.1 Signs that have no corresponding signal in the Morse code, but that are acceptable in the writing of telegrams, shall be sent as follows: 3.2 Multiplication sign 3.2.1 For the multiplication sign, the signal corresponding to the letter X shall be transmitted. 3.3 Percentage or pe
18、r thousand sign 3.3.1 To indicate the signal % or , the figure 0, the fraction bar and the figures 0 or 00 shall be transmitted successively (i.e. 0/0, 0/00). 3.3.2 A whole number, a fractional number, or a fraction, followed by a % or sign, shall be transmitted by joining up the whole number, the f
19、raction number, or the fraction to the % or by a single hyphen. Examples: For 2%, transmit 2-0/0, and not 20/0. For 41/2, transmit 4-1/2-0/00, and not 41/20/00. 3.4 Inverted commas (quotation marks) 3.4.1 The special signal for inverted commas shall be transmitted before and after the word or words.
20、 However, where code converters are used, the apostrophe may be transmitted twice before and twice after the word or words to signal inverted commas (quotation marks). 3.5 Minute and second signs 3.5.1 To transmit the minute ( ) or second ( ) signs, when such signs follow figures for example 115 the
21、 apostrophe signal (. .) must be used once or twice as appropriate. The signal (. . . .) reserved for inverted commas may not be used for the second sign. 4 Transmission of groups of figures and letters, of ordinal numbers or of fractions 4.1 A group consisting of figures and letters shall be transm
22、itted without spaces between figures and letters. 4.2 Ordinal numbers composed of figures and letters, 30me, 25th, etc., shall be transmitted in the form 30ME, 25TH, etc. 4.3 A number that includes a fraction shall be transmitted with the fraction linked to the whole number by a single hyphen. Examp
23、les: For 13/4, transmit 1-3/4, and not 13/4. For 3/48, transmit 3/4-8, and not 3/48. For 3631/24 5642, transmit 363-1/2 4 5642, and not 3631/2 4 5642. Rec. ITU-R M.1677-1 5 Part II General transmission rules 1 All correspondence between two stations shall begin with the call signal. 1.1 For calling,
24、 the calling station shall transmit the call sign (not more than twice) of the station required, the word DE followed by its own call sign and the signal . unless there are special rules peculiar to the type of apparatus used. The call shall always be made at hand speed. 2 The station called must re
25、ply immediately by transmitting the call sign of the calling station, the word DE followed by its own call sign and the signal . . 2.1 If the station called is unable to receive, it shall give the wait signal. If it expects the wait to exceed ten minutes, the reason and probable duration shall be gi
26、ven. 2.2 When a station called does not reply, the call may be repeated at suitable intervals. 2.3 When the station called does not reply to the repeated call, the condition of the circuit must be examined. 3 The double hyphen (. . . ) shall be transmitted either to separate: 3.1 the preamble from t
27、he service indications; 3.2 the service indications from each other; 3.3 the service indications from the address; 3.4 the station of destination from the text; 3.5 the text from the signature. 4 A transmission, once begun, may not be interrupted to give place to a communication of higher priority e
28、xcept in a case of absolute urgency. 5 Every telegram shall be terminated with a cross signal (. . .). 6 The end of the transmission shall be indicated by the cross signal (. . .) followed by the invitation to transmit signal K (. ). 7 The end of work shall be indicated by the station that transmitted the last telegram. The correct indication is the end of work signal (. . . . ).
