Wigwag (more formally, aerial telegraphy) is an historical form of flag signaling that passes messages by waving a single flag. It differs from flag semaphore in that it uses one flag rather than two, and the symbols for each letter are represented by the motion of the flag rather than its position. The larger flag and its motion allow messages to be read over greater distances than semaphore. Messages could be sent at night using torches instead of flags.

  • Wigwag (isyarat bendera) (istilah resminya, telegraf via udara) adalah sebuah bentuk saling bertukar pesan dengan mempergunakan bendera yang dilakukan dengan menggerakkan satu buah bendera saja. Bentuk isyarat ini berbeda dengan Semafor bendera, dimana isyarat ini hanya mempergunakan satu bendera saja. Perbedaan lainnya, simbol untuk setiap huruf diterjemahkan dari pergerakan benderanya dibandingkan dengan posisinya. Kian besar benderanya dan seberapa cepat atau lambatnya pergerakannya, akan membuat pesannya bisa dibaca dari jarak yang lebih jauh dibandingkan dengan semafor. Dalam kondisi malam hari, pengiriman pesannya bisa digantikan dengan mempergunakan obor daripada bendera. (in)

  • Вигваг (англ. Wigwag) — система оптической сигнализации, созданная в середине XIX века в США Альбертом Майером. Отличается от обычной сигнализации семафором тем, что для нее используется один флаг, а не два, и значение передаваемых сигналов определяется движением флага, а не его позицией. В ночное время суток сигналы можно было передавать движением факелов. (ru)
