OK, after looking around a bit, I found that originally the short signals sent an Ä twice, which is .-.- (didahdidah). The British called these "E-bars".
I found out that as I suspected earlier, the "Beta" was a common Morse prosign, BT, which is -...- (Dadidididah).
Weather signals used a WW in front of their messages.
When I get some time, I'll gin up a Kurzsignal message and post it to Youtube.
