I’m teaching myself Morse code. Mostly because I am starting
a new Amateur radio class on Saturday at 9am. The class is free and being held
at the hospital (so I can walk from my house) and at the end of the class I
will be able to get my technician’s license. I’ve always been interested in the
concept of ham radio and the survivalist in me thinks it is worth the price.
I’m excited about it.
I’ve already learned some interesting facts. Such as, those
in the know don’t call it “dots” and “dashes” but “dits” and “dahs”. I’m
finding that I’m learning the visual part of the code much faster than the
audio part – and the audio part is what is important. Morse code is almost
always sent as a sound language and not a visual language. But I found this
great website that has you-tube lessons. I’ve only taken lesson one so far, but
I’m learning it pretty fast. Here is the website:
