yeah, there is no prefix in morse... it is too old to have such concepts...
FWIW: the above line i wrote without any silence spacing is ABCD but it could
be decoded as one of several others depending on how one breaks it apart...
.- -... -.-. -...
A B C D
speed is another factor with morse code... if you can easily hear 20WPM but
have problems at 30WPM, you might miss some things and get a wrong decode...
