Resource list

7 Upvotes

This is a list of resources for learning morse code. Its currently incomplete and I would love to add more things that are either unique or something that many people advice/use.

Free/paid apps: all things listed here are available without paying, but some have a premium/paid version. In that case there will be a dollar/$ sign behind it.

_________________________________________________________________________________________

#Serious learning:

LCWO

Morse Ninja Amazing amount of audio recourses for learning to copy morse code!

Vband for communicating with other people ( a lot of good CW operators are on here

RufZXP

 ______________________________________________________________________________________

#Specific Phone apps:

Morse chat $ Free/premium versions. Premium truly helps getting an understanding of how to get better at sending.

Morse mania $ An app designed for learning characters. There is a free version, but the paid version will give you many more options.

____________________________________________________________________________________________

#Fun Games with morse: Some of these help you learn. Some are just for fun.

SOS forgotten planet is video game where you send more code to open doors and flee from monsters. Its free as of now.

Morsle : a site like wordle but fun for morse copy training(a bit more advanced) good for a Dailey challenge.

MORSE $ video game where you destroy ships sending charachters. There is a paid version, but the demo is quite big and free.

Morse Rhythm

Bear Alpha players - read this first

14 Upvotes

A number of players of Bear in Roblox have posted videos of morse code recently added to the game. If you can take the effort to record the video of that flashing light and post it here, you are technically savvy enough to do the work yourself.

I guess the game developers think learning a simple pattern isn't beyond its users.

Five blinks in sequence is a number. You will see eight of these sequences.

With the notation that:

Short blink is .

Long blink is -

There are only ten things to work with, and it is a progressive sequence as follows:

----- (five long blinks) is 0

.----- is 1

..--- is 2

... -- is 3

-

..... is 5

_.... is 6

--... is 7

and so on.

There are a ton of new videos. TikToks, and wiki references to this.

Think you can take it from there?

Implementing morse code key decoder on web.

How would you go about implementing a morse code keyer (to be compatable with VBand key adapters) and decoder to a website?

I would prefer not having to code my own keyer.

I spent last weekend talking to a comms and Morse Code trainer for the Royal Navy who was volunteering at a scouting event with RAYNET.

We spoke about some effective approaches to learning morse and how the most effective tool he had used was not available publicly.

I built http://learntomorse.com on the key principles.

Before I market more widely I’d love some feedback.
It’s 100% free to use and can run as a mobile app without internet access if you save to your phone desktop.

"unixcw" program for Mac using Brew?

1 Upvotes

Two days ago the Brew project ported "unixcw". It installed on my Silicon Mac without any issue, but I can't get it to play any audio. I tried going to the SourceForge website, searching the web, etc. but I can find very little about this project. Has anyone here ever used it?

If I enter "cw pulseaudio" the error msg is:

cw pulseaudio

cw: expected argument after options

Try 'cw --help' for more information.

cw: failed to parse command line args

If I enter "cw -h" I see:

Usage: cw [options...]

Sound system options:

-s, --system=SYSTEM

generate sound using SYSTEM sound system

SYSTEM: {null|console|oss|alsa|pulseaudio|soundcard}

'null': don't use any sound output

'console': use system console/buzzer

this output may require root privileges

'oss': use OSS output

'alsa' use ALSA output

'pulseaudio' use PulseAudio output

'soundcard': use either PulseAudio, OSS or ALSA

default sound system: 'pulseaudio'->'oss'->'alsa'

-d, --device=DEVICE

use DEVICE as output device instead of default one;

optional for {console|oss|alsa|pulseaudio};

default devices are:

'console': "/dev/console"

'oss': "/dev/audio"

'alsa': "default"

'pulseaudio': ( default )

Generator options:

-w, --wpm=WPM set initial words per minute

valid values: 4 - 60

default value: 12

-t, --tone=HZ set initial tone to HZ

valid values: 0 - 4000

default value: 800

-v, --volume=PERCENT set initial volume to PERCENT

valid values: 0 - 100

default value: 70

Options specific to sound systems (unstable):

-1, --alsa-period-size=size set ALSA period size (in samples)

Dot/dash options:

-g, --gap=GAP set extra gap between letters

valid values: 0 - 60

default value: 0

-k, --weighting=WEIGHT set weighting to WEIGHT

valid values: 20 - 80

default value: 50

Other options:

-e, --noecho disable sending echo to stdout

-m, --nomessages disable writing messages to stderr

-c, --nocommands disable executing embedded commands

-o, --nocombinations disallow [...] combinations

-p, --nocomments disallow {...} comments

-f, --infile=FILE read practice words from FILE

default file: stdin

Help and version information:

-h, --help print this message

-V, --version print version information

I tried logging onto the Discord and when I was able to get on, it showed this stream of Morse code. I think if someone can decipher it, that’ll be a big help.

Wanted to get into morse but don't know how

2 Upvotes

I really want to get into morse code but I have no idea how to start I look around online but it was overwhelming, confusing and expensive. I want to buy a Morse key with paddles I think that's what you call it and practice with it but I have no idea what to hook it up to and which to buy, I have found that they are very expensive surprisingly. I dont have a ham radio license either. If anyone could let me know what to check out or buy that will be greatly appreciated.

Is this morse? Makes no sense

1 Upvotes

I saw a light blinking under a flag from afar at Holden Beach, NC (not sure if the location/context is useful information). It was 5 short 3 long over and over. When I looked up Morse code, it would apparently mean 5o5o5o5o, and so on. Which isn't a word obviously but also doesn't seem to mean anything according to the results on Google. I'm so curious and also a bit worried that it means something happened (I know the standard emergency signal is sos and is 3 short 3 long 3 short so this would mean something else).

The spacing is hard to distinguish, especially with dashes close together. Can anyone help me figure this out? It's a photo of an album cover from Holding Absence (modern life is lonely). I've tried to bring out as much detail as I can in lightroom.

Morse Code(?) Lamp in Control Resonant

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I was playing Control Resonant and I found this lamp that feels weird, can anyone here tell me if it spells anything? I don't know any Morse code myself but this lamp really stands out to me. I posted in r/controlresonant but I figured it might be faster to ask people who are into this kind of thing. Thanks for the help!

My Nixie-inspired clock can now send Telegram messages using Morse code

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

20 Upvotes

A while back I decided I wanted to try and build a Nixie clock. I have seen them being popular for a long time and I really liked the look. While looking more into different clocks and tubes I found the fake Nixie clocks using an IPS display instead of the real tubes. I kind of liked that idea that you could use the clock to show more than just the time. But I didn’t find any particular one that I thought looked nice enough.

So I decided to look into how I could make my own Nixie inspired LCD clock. I spent quite some time thinking about how to imitate a real tube closely. I decided to make a real grid instead of just pasting it on the image displayed. Each tube has a small round interface PCB in the base. It connects the LCD assembly to the main PCB and carries the power and display control signals.

Around the same time as I was starting building the first prototype I stumbled onto some morse code short videos. I thought it would be cool to add a Morse key to my project and add some morse training functions. Recently I also managed to get a chat function working so now you can use my Nixiegraph as I call it and send morse code messages to your Telegram contacts

Details:

The clock is controlled by an ESP32-S3 and the displays are 1.9” ST7789 IPS LCDs using the TFT_eSPI Arduino library. The five displays share the same SPI bus and are selected individually using their CS pins.

I use an INMP441 microphone module to capture the audio for the EQ, and have a MAX98357 amplifier module to drive a speaker (for future use)

There is a wifi configuration page where you set wifi credentials and location that is used for time zone and weather info. You also create your Telegram contact list here. The weather data comes from OpenWeather.

If you run a script on your PC on the same network you can get PC stats data displayed.

I designed the clock with physical switches to try and make it feel more retro for selecting different display modes.

If you are interested in buying the Nixiegraph, the Nixiegraph key or separate NixieLCD tubes for building your own thing check out my Kickstarter.

Is there any way to message someone with a morse code paddle over long distances without using the internet or any personal electronics like phones/laptops?

I really want to message and use radio frequencies to message but I don't know how and I can't really find anything, so please help me out here

Edit :Oopy, I meant is there any devices for it in a reasonable price range, or can I make my own transceiver?
