I learned morse code on my own as teenager with the Radio Shack 5 to 1000 watts book. Start by standing up, at the beginning of the alphabet yell, DIT DAH, ALPHA! DAH DIT DIT DIT, BRAVO, all the way through the alphabet. In about two days, you'll have it down. Then get a descent radio with a BFO, tune between 7.025-7.075 Mhz most any evening, and you'll have plenty of stations to practice. :) One thing morse code would be good for - replace the simple BIOS beepcodes. You could actually encode rather descent error messages right into BIOS. One of my coworkers phone would send ... -- ... when she got a new SMS. I'd tell her she got a new SMS, but she could never figure it out... Thanks!
