Time & Periods

Time-related words (hour, minute, second, today, tomorrow, yesterday, forever, eternity) work beautifully in Morse code on commemorative jewelry and dedication pieces. Time Morse phrases like forever or always are among the most-engraved on wedding bands and anniversary gifts. The Morse code for time-units (minute, hour, decade, century) also has practical use in CW amateur radio: time-stamp confirmations are sometimes sent in Morse rather than abbreviated to ensure clarity. Most time words run 4 to 8 letters, transmitting in 2 to 4 seconds at 12 WPM.
