The "double tap" for DASH would have to be rather quick, somewhat like a "double-click" on a computer MOUSE. The timing could be the same time for DOT as for DASH. I can see this method working just fine.

What I would like to see is some "official" definition that defines this "double tap" to be a DASH. So, Adam, where did you see this method described?

Tapping was meaningful in sending messages back in a memory from History. When the US Navy Ships were sunk at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, by Japanese carrier-based airplanes, some ship actually rolled over, trapping some sailors inside. They cut holes in the bottom of the ship to let the trapped ones out. There was communication with those inside by using TAPPING to send MORSE code. But that was a lot of armor plate to burn through to make those holes. Only a few of the trapped ones made it out. Apparently, there was some agreement there as to what tap was a dot and what was a dash.
