After my recent Morse code post, I decided to refresh my skills. I passed the 5 wpm test for my Tech Plus license with flying colors, but that was many years ago. I'm sad to report that the available practice software hasn't improved much in the intervening time. (Maybe the DOS-based one that sells for $24 is super awesome, but I'm not about to find out.) After several day's practice I'm back to where I used to be, which is nice.

It's too bad Morse is a dying art. It's so iconic, such a classic adventure skill. In a generation, no one will know it anymore.

I seem to remember [livejournal.com profile] neuro42 saying his instructor was surprised he could identify them by ear.
