Message definition (AY Honors/Communications/Semaphore Code )
The following semaphore characters are presented as one would face the signalman (in other words, pretend you can see the signalman's face in the illustrations). The letters ''almost'' follow a perfect, regular pattern, but don't be fooled by the first several. '''J''', '''V''', and '''Y''' break the pattern. We present them here in alphabetical order, and then again by position in a series of ''circles''. ====Alphabetic Order==== {| width=100% style="text-align: center; line-height: 125%;" |- | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore Ready.svg|80px]]<br>Rest position | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore Numeric.svg|80px]]<br>Numerals | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore Error.svg|80px]]<br>Attention | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore Cancel.svg|80px]]<br>Cancel |- | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore Alpha.svg|80px]]<br>A / 1 | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore Bravo.svg|80px]]<br>B / 2 | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore Charlie.svg|80px]]<br>C / 3 / Ack | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore Delta.svg|80px]]<br>D / 4 | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore Echo.svg|80px]]<br>E / 5 / Error 9x's | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore Foxtrot.svg|80px]]<br>F / 6 |- | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore Golf.svg|80px]]<br>G / 7 | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore Hotel.svg|80px]]<br>H / 8 | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore India.svg|80px]]<br>I / 9 | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore Juliet.svg|80px]]<br>J / Letters | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore Kilo.svg|80px]]<br>K / 0 |- | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore Lima.svg|80px]]<br>L | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore Mike.svg|80px]]<br>M | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore November.svg|80px]]<br>N | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore Oscar.svg|80px]]<br>O | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore Papa.svg|80px]]<br>P |- | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore Quebec.svg|80px]]<br>Q | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore Romeo.svg|80px]]<br>R | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore Sierra.svg|80px]]<br>S | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore Tango.svg|80px]]<br>T | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore Uniform.svg|80px]]<br>U |- | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore Victor.svg|80px]]<br>V | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore Whiskey.svg|80px]]<br>W | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore X-ray.svg|80px]]<br>X | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore Yankee.svg|80px]]<br>Y | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore Zulu.svg|80px]]<br>Z |} ====By position==== {| width=100% style="text-align: center; line-height: 125%;" |- | width=10% | '''The Grand Circle''' | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore Alpha.svg|80px]]<br>A | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore Bravo.svg|80px]]<br>B | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore Charlie.svg|80px]]<br>C | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore Delta.svg|80px]]<br>D | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore Echo.svg|80px]]<br>E | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore Foxtrot.svg|80px]]<br>F | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore Golf.svg|80px]]<br>G |- | width=10% | '''A Circle''' | width=10% | [[Image:No work.svg|80px]] | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore Hotel.svg|80px]]<br>H | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore India.svg|80px]]<br>I | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore Kilo.svg|80px]]<br>K | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore Lima.svg|80px]]<br>L | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore Mike.svg|80px]]<br>M | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore November.svg|80px]]<br>N |- | width=10% | '''B Circle''' | width=10% | [[Image:No work.svg|80px]] | width=10% | [[Image:No work.svg|80px]] | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore Oscar.svg|80px]]<br>O | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore Papa.svg|80px]]<br>P | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore Quebec.svg|80px]]<br>Q | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore Romeo.svg|80px]]<br>R | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore Sierra.svg|80px]]<br>S |- | width=10% | '''C Circle''' | width=10% | [[Image:No work.svg|80px]] | width=10% | [[Image:No work.svg|80px]] | width=10% | [[Image:No work.svg|80px]] | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore Tango.svg|80px]]<br>T | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore Uniform.svg|80px]]<br>U | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore Yankee.svg|80px]]<br>Y | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore Cancel.svg|80px]]<br>Cancel |- | width=10% | '''D Circle''' | width=10% | [[Image:No work.svg|80px]] | width=10% | [[Image:No work.svg|80px]] | width=10% | [[Image:No work.svg|80px]] | width=10% | [[Image:No work.svg|80px]] | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore Numeric.svg|80px]]<br>Numerals | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore Juliet.svg|80px]]<br>J | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore Victor.svg|80px]]<br>V |- | width=10% | '''E Circle''' | width=10% | [[Image:No work.svg|80px]] | width=10% | [[Image:No work.svg|80px]] | width=10% | [[Image:No work.svg|80px]] | width=10% | [[Image:No work.svg|80px]] | width=10% | [[Image:No work.svg|80px]] | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore Whiskey.svg|80px]]<br>W | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore X-ray.svg|80px]]<br>X |- | width=10% | '''F Circle''' | width=10% | [[Image:No work.svg|80px]] | width=10% | [[Image:No work.svg|80px]] | width=10% | [[Image:No work.svg|80px]] | width=10% | [[Image:No work.svg|80px]] | width=10% | [[Image:No work.svg|80px]] | width=10% | [[Image:No work.svg|80px]] | width=10% | [[Image:Semaphore Zulu.svg|80px]]<br>Z |}

|} Alfabeto
Una de las formas más sencillas de aprender el alfabeto semáforo es dividirlo en cuatro secciones (o "vueltas", en el entendido de que recuerdan las vueltas de las manecillas del reloj). A continuación, el alfabeto semáforo se presenta tal como lo ve el sujeto que recibe el mensaje, diferenciando cada "vuelta":
Primera vuelta
Segunda vuelta
Tercera vuelta
Cuarta vuelta
