Why No is worth knowing

NO is one of the shortest real words in Morse, and it uses only dashes and a single dot — good practice for hearing dash length when there is no run of dots alongside it to compare against.

No letter by letter

Each key is one character, sent with a short silence between them. Open any key to hear it on its own.

You can send No yourself by day 4 of the seven-day plan: that is when the last of its letters is taught.
