To: Thomas-san,

No problem. it's my pleasure.;)

My answer:
In my opinions...

I used ひらがな not カタカナ, is this OK?

Both is OK in daily use.
However, I seems that many people use katakana.

The reason for this,
when listening Wabun code and writing down these , Katakana(カタカナ) is
easier and faster than Hiragana(ひらなが).
For example,
"あ/a" has three strokes, but "ア/a" has two.
And the length of the strokes in the character "ア" is also shorter than "あ".
The same thing is for "れ/re". "れ/re" is easier and faster to write "レ/re".

Hiragana しゃ (sha) is wabun --.-. .-- しや (no small や)

Yes, we do not use small wabun character in Wabun morse.

single hiragana ぱ (pa) is two letters in wabun -... ..--. that would output two unicode character は and ゜like so は゜.

Yes, that's right.
By combining codes, we don't need to remember several new codes.
If we are using one unicode character
Ex;
は、ひ、ふ、へ、ほ、ぱ、ぴ、ぷ、ぺ、ぽ、ば、び、ぶ、べ、ぼ => we need 15 codes.
Now:
は、ひ、ふ、へ、ほ、゜、゛ => only 7 codes. and "゜" and "゛" can be combined with
other letters.

used international morse for numbers 0,1,..,9, are they used?

Yes, we use them.
However, some notations in the professional license examination use
abbreviations. Especially when sending and receiving the "TIME" item
of a telegram.
And some people prefer to use the abbreviations. For amateur radio
QSO, both is fine/OK.
Abbreviations of numbers for wabun.
{".-", u8"一"},
{"..-", u8"二"},
{"...-", u8"三"},
{"....-", u8"四"},
{".....", u8"五"},
{"-....", u8"六"},
{"-...", u8"七"},
{"-..", u8"八"},
{"-.", u8"九"},
{"-.", u8"０"},
4, 5 and 6 are same of full codes.

Any prosigns or other characters commonly in use and missing?

It's a minor thing.....
1) According to Japanese regulations, ".-.-.." means Paragraph End. It is ”」".
Of course, in a QSO, both have the same meaning and no problem.
{".-.-..", u8"」"},
2) "...-." has two meanings, "End of Wabun" and "Correction" (it's
same of <HH> "........" in international code.)
We don't generally use <HH> in Wabun QSO.
Therefore, if someone uses <SN> to correct a international QSO, we can
understand that she/he is able to communicate in Wabun Morse.

Others:
{".-..-", u8"ゐ"} and {".--..", u8"ゑ"} are still exist in Japanese
regulations, but these are not used on a daily basis in Japan today.

If you have any other questions, feel free to let me know.

And,
Be careful of "guerrilla thunderstorm" = "sudden downpour" in Japan,
especially in metropolitan areas is so.
I hope your antenna is set up successfully.
GL!

Hi Thomas-san,

I'm JJ1VNV / AKKY.
Have you recovered from your jet lag yet?
So,I just had a look at your code, file:morse.h.
It seems like there are some Morse code lines missing in that file.
It will be better that you will insert the following code between
lines 169 and 170:

--------------
line:169 {"..-", u8"う"},

{".-..-", u8"ゐ"},
{"..--", u8"の"},
{".-...", u8"お"},
{"...-", u8"く"},
{".--", u8"や"},
{"-..-", u8"ま"},
{"-.--", u8"け"},
{"--..", u8"ふ"},
{"----", u8"こ"},
{"-.---", u8"え"},
{".-.--", u8"て"},
{"--.--", u8"あ"},

(line 170,now) {"-.-.-", u8"さ"},

Please, you have a great time in Japan!
