Cyrillic Morse Code: Complete Guide

Russian Morse Code History

Cyrillic Morse code was developed in the 19th century alongside the expansion of the telegraph network into Russia and Eastern Europe. The ITU standardised the Cyrillic extension to International Morse code, ensuring consistent usage across all Cyrillic-script countries. Today it remains in active use by Russian amateur radio operators.

The 32 Cyrillic Letters

The modern Russian alphabet has 32 letters, each with a unique Morse code sequence following the ITU-R M.1677-1 standard. Letters like Ж (···−), Ш (−−−−), Щ (−−·−), and Ъ (−−·−−) have distinctive codes not found in any Latin Morse alphabet. The ITU standard ensures these codes do not conflict with any other assigned sequences.

📻 Russian Amateur Radio

SRR (Soyuz Radiolyubiteley Rossii) has hundreds of thousands of members. Russian operators actively use CW Morse and participate in CQ World Wide CW contests.
