Dot = 1, space = 0, dash = 111 ?

It is not dependent on a machine it can be send by hand and read by the
brain. The equipment to use cw can be simple and basic.
The above DOT,SPACE and DASH logic is only applicable when sent by a
machine. Most operators have their own characteristics where dots,spaces
and dashes can be anything from perfection to erratic Baghdad morse,
which
cannot be read or sent by a machine, but works amongst the operators
involved. This is basic functional communications and will win in the
end,
when all the other sophisticated digital generators/receivers and
satellites systems are Zapped.
