.And we still learn it. I spend about 15 minutes a day at it. I'm at Koch level "P" now at 23 WPM and character spacing at 3.5 normal. I add one letter a week and it's working. Speaking of Morse, there is an interesting article in the July, 1922 issue of a magazine named "Radio Broadcast" that describes wireless telegraph experiments by Morse involving placement of two widely spaced metal plates on each bank of a river (link below). Interesting stuff if you're interested in this kind of thing.
