“QSL” in Morse Code

A Q-code, not a word: QSL means ‘I confirm receipt of your transmission.’ Operators mail each other decorated ‘QSL cards’ to prove a contact really happened — radio's century-old answer to collecting stamps.

Letter by letter

Reading it: a dot (·) is one unit long, a dash (−) is three. Letters are separated by a three-unit silence — written as a space — and words by seven units, written as a slash. Want to hear it slower or flash it as light? Open it in the morse code translator.
