Several years ago, I made a program called QSOSender3 that simulated QSO interactions for learning Morse code. It randomly creates 'transmissions' to address the issue that most Morse code learning programs were focused on letters and numbers and not the interactions you would see on the air. It generates a nearly unlimited set of transmissions, with the higher speeds generating longer QSOs.

After Google complained about how out of date the program was, I decided to rewrite it and call it QSOSim. Hopefully, I have fixed all the nagging issues the original code had. QSOSim can be found on the google play store. It is free for anyone to use.

A series of utilities. The most interesting is a daily podcast (at different speed) with headlines of the news.

Few months ago, playing with Python's library to create Discord's BOTs, I was successful "injecting" mp3 files in the Discord's "audio chat".

One could think of automating the process of running exercising sessions (every 30 min, around the day) where users input does or does not trigger a reaction.

I am thinking for instance of a sort of MorseRunner simulator but via Discord, implemented as a BOT.

Anyone willing to join forces?

An early article on a change in learning style of CW, privileging training for unconscious "sounds" classification/discrimination.

Whatever you do, please DROP any graphical table of Morse Code and never look at that again ;)

An entertaining read to motivate oneself, during the learning process.

It is available as a kindle e-book on Amazon but also as a free PDF in English or in Italian.

A concise video presentation given by Kurt Zoglmann (genius and generous mind behind Morse Code Ninja. It features a rather modern approach to learning CW

Whatever you do and want to start, please

• focus on Instant Character Recognition
• use fast "character speed" (and very ample pauses among characters)
• drop the keyboard or the pen

Like Wordle but to practice Morse decoding.

I propose to join forces and fill a list of useful (online) resources. I start.
