What is G in Morse code?

G is two dashes followed by a dot (−−·). If you already know M (−−), G is simply M with a short tap added at the end.

What does GM mean in Morse code?

GM means good morning. Operators greet each other with GM, GA and GE for morning, afternoon and evening, and close a late contact with GN for good night.

Is G the same as Z in Morse?

No. Z (−−··) is G with one more dot. At higher speeds the two can blur, so listen to how long the tail of short sounds runs after the two dahs.

The Letter G in Morse Code

G is −−·: one short di and 2 long dahs, dah-dah-dit. It lasts 9 units.

−−·dah-dah-dit

G drawn to time: 9 units, then a 3-unit gap before the next letter.

§ 2How to remember G

GOOD GRA-vy (−−·) — G mirrors U (··−) and reads as W (·−−) backwards, so start listening with the two dahs.
