Putting my ears to the headphones, and tapping away on a morserino m32 pocket , a sort of demonic teaching tool for morse code.
It works as a bluetooth keyboard , too.
So i just wrote this text using morse code.
I have released version 0.8 of my single-paddle morse key with one new change: It now supports adding an M3x20 set / grub screw as a spreader to make it harder to accidentally key dits or dahs by squeezing the key while holding it in your hand.
Appropriate screws are mentioned in the documentation. Like everything else, this is a part to buy in multiples, so get your club together and do a group build! ☺
I have a habit of not mixing work and hobbies, for personal reasons. I have designed a 3D-printed Morse code key that @qrper has recently featured in a few of his videos. I have started to get inquiries about purchasing a key from me, but I can't turn it into a personal "side hustle."
If anyone wants to sell this key, I'll happily add a "Vendors" section linking to everyone who lets me know they are selling it. No royalties, only a request to do a good job, list what kind(s) of plastic you print with, and charge what it takes to support customers well. The license is intentionally permissive. I want a high-quality, reasonably inexpensive, single-paddle key available to anyone who wants one.
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.
—from the obituary
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.
