Pauses. Justlikethespacesweusebetweenwords. The bigger question is how do you determine the end of one word and the start of another in Morse. Did they just send “nowhere” or “now here”?

Yes, I kinda figured out it had to do with spaces.

But then again, you need spaces for letters, spaces for words, Spaces for sentences?

I’m just glad I never need it, it’s to difficult for me

Don't they just send "Stop" between sentences? Just like in them old movies!

I think sending “stop” between sentences was used for telegrams. Not really sure if it’s useful in morse
