The Pattern: Numbers in Morse code always use exactly 5 signals. Numbers 1–5 start with dots, numbers 6–9 start with dashes, and 0 is all dashes. Once you know this, the whole system clicks into place.
Numbers have special meaning in amateur radio and popular culture:
| Code | Morse | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 143 | .---- ....- ...-- | "I Love You" — letter count (I=1, Love=4, You=3) |
| 73 | --... ...-- | "Best regards" — the most common ham radio farewell |
| 88 | ---. ---. | "Love and kisses" — used between ham operators |
| 33 | ...-- ...-- | "Fondest regards" — used by female operators historically |
| 55 | ..... ..... | "Best success" — congratulatory expression |
| 99 | ----. ----. | "Go away / QRT" — informal dismissal |
