How many of you would recognize SOS in morse code if you heard it?
@freemo I said no, but figure I would guess from context. Unless, of course, there's a similarly short, palindromic, repeating code that a ship or other craft would be sending
@2ck Well I'm mostly curious to get a sense of if this is something that would be effective in an everyday emergency situation. For example if your stuck on a mountain top and you flashed out SOS with your latern repeatidly how likely is it that a hiker or someone in the distance who noticed the light would recognize it as SOS. Similarly if someone were trapped and tapping out SOS on a pipe and a random person heard it, would they recognize it as an emergency call.
If you have to rely on context then it sounds to me that the answer in your case is, and should be, no.
