WOW! The whole purpose of this website is to encourage new no-code hams, and others, to try the C.W. mode. No one can know how great it is until they experience it for themselves. There has always been a problem of learning Morse code in the first place. It takes time, patience, study, and a serious commitment to devote oneself to learning. There is no hurry and perhaps some well thought out training aids would be helpful.
It has now come to my attention that there is at least two websites devoted to helping you in the process of learning Morse code. As a side benefit, it gives you some extra practice with typing as both training methods utilize the keyboard for input.
The first website is www.lcwo.net which stands for “learn C.W. Online. It gives you several options and directions for your learning and you pick which type and speed fits your style. I checked this out and think that it could be very helpful/
The second website was developed by Dr. Gary Bold, ZL1AN, from New Zealand. This course is free, as is the other one, and may be downloaded from the New Zealand Amateur Radio Club, NZART website. Go to www.nzart.org.nz/nzart/exam/morse.html .
Check out both of these websites. They will take you a long way towards your goal of getting on the air in Morse code.

About Me
- Jack Stahl
- One of the wonderful aspects of using Morse code as a communications mode is that it is very indifferent as to the operator’s age. A good fist (one who sends well) can be ten years old or one hundred. I say this is wonderful because I am happily enjoying my sixty ninth year. I am new to the hobby of amateur radio, however, since I passed my technician test in September of 2006 and was awarded the license and call sign of KD8EJY by the FCC. I then passed my General exam in November and was granted my vanity call sign request of K8ASA by the FCC Although I am new to the amateur radio hobby, I am not new to Morse code. The ASA in my call sign refers to the Army Security Agency who sent me to a special school in 1956 to become efficient in Morse code. I was sent to Ethiopia for two years to give the army the benefit of my new skill. While back in those days my knowledge of Morse code was beneficial to our national security, 51 years later it now brings me pure pleasure. There has been a hiatus of fifty years between my army discharge and my becoming a ham and I do truly regret the fact that I missed out on all those years of enjoyment with the amateur radio hobby.

The first link brings up a site that is explained as follows: "At LCWO you can learn Morse telegraphy (CW) online in your browser. You don't need to install a program on your computer, and you always have your personal settings available, from any computer on the globe with an internet connection. You can also easily track your progress by means of different statistical functions."
The second link brings up pages of google citations, each very interesting, too many to explain but all worth exploring.
Thanks. Your post is worthwhile for those who want to get into private radio communication via morse.
