Dots and dashes are the crux of my quandary. It gets hard to tell which is a

You're welcome! Let me say here that perhaps it's easier to think of them as
sounds, rather than dots and dashes.

That is to say if you think of them as dit's and dah's it might be easier.

Example: di-dah = A rather than dot-dash
.-

dah-di-di-dit =B rather than dash-dot-dot-dot
-...

That might help, I don't know! That's how I was first instructed.

Ah, a beacon may be exactly it. I can't read morse code, so as

as they are I don't know where they are S.

Well, if you can copy down the dots and dashes and look up a few letters
you can
use the following site:

Note that further down on that page is a site to look up US beacons.

I don't know? I just heard something that sounded like it. Probably
just a
beacon. I,m not hip to long wave.
