A "small friend" to practice Morse Code.

It's only three months until ARRL/RAC Field Day. If you, like me, want to make sure you are prepared to run CW during Field Day, my fork of Morse Walker has Field Day support. Just fill in Section and Class and choose Field Day at the top and you can get some practice.

It's more realistic than the Morse Walker POTA simulation, because it varies the responses. You might hear "R", "RR", "QSL", or "X" before they send their class and section, and after their class and section you might hear "TU", "TNX", "GL", "73", or "72". (And either of those might be omitted since only class and section are required.) This should help the practice be a little more useful for tuning your ears than the POTA simulation which is always exactly "599 ST ST BK"

It's not meant to be accurate (e.g. Canadian calls don't map the call area to the section, and it doesn't implement asking for fills) but it is meant to be useful.

Darrell “Dash” Crofts was born in Cisco, Texas on August 14, 1940, alongside his twin sister, Dorothy. As noted in Goldmine in 1992, the nickname “Dash” stems from his mother, who entered the twins in a beauty contest when they were babies, under the names Dot and Dash.

Spencer Kelly on #BBC #MorningLive just now demonstrating a tracker and how it "plays a tune" when you locate it with your phone.

A tune?

It was quite clearly shouting "HERE" in #morse code! Nice.

Someone asked me about the difference between Morse code and Morse code. ;)
I remember receiving a book on Samuel Morse years ago when I was a teenager and the table confused me to no end until I learned the difference. ;)
It would have been so much less confusing had they labelled it Vail code but that's not what happened eh?

TV theme composer Ronnie Hazlehurst showed his genius with the theme tune to Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em

Ignore the pitch and listen to the rhythm. Clever, eh?
