Why Thank you is worth knowing

Operators shorten this to TU, sent as one flowing pair rather than two separate letters. Spelling out THANK YOU takes roughly ten times as long as TU to key, which is why almost nobody does it on the air — Morse conventions were shaped by people paid by the message.

Thank you letter by letter

Each key is one character. A space separates letters and a slash separates the two words. Open any key to hear it on its own.
