Russell Finn 23 February 2017 at 16:49 Regarding the relative inefficiency of the letter O in “International” Morse, it should be noted that in the older “American” Morse, O was one of the letters that contained a “long” internal gap; it was encoded as dit–dit and so its length was only 4. (Compare the letter I, which is dit-dit of length 3, and the “word” EE, which is dit—dit.) When International Morse eliminated the long internal gap, O had to be re-encoded, and dahdahdah was chosen. Other such letters went to four-element codes, with the exception of R which “stole” F’s encoding. (See the Wikipedia article on American Morse for details.) — K3RSF
