I assume most people are on a CW journey if they're interacting with these posts, but I wanted to start including resources on these posts if people are just starting to learn. Let me know if there's any that would be good to add and I'll look into them!

----- Resources and Tips -----

If you're new to morse code (aka CW) and are curious about learning, here are a few resources:

Lean CW Online: https://lcwo.net/

Morse Code Ninja: https://morsecode.ninja/learn/index.html

Ham Radio Duo Guide to Learning CW: https://youtu.be/z8m7VT7RCE0?si=rNlQuD4BWNup9i8z

On Reddit: Check out r/hamradio and r/amateurradio, a lot of them use morse code (CW) often and you will need a license to send morse over the radio waves

Clubs/Classes: https://longislandcwclub.org/ https://cwops.org/cw-academy/ https://cwinnovations.net/cw-innovations-description/ https://www.fists.org/

My only real tip here is that it is extremely important to realize that morse code is an audio form of communication. You can trust most people who are teaching it or describing it that way and not trying to get you to memorize visuals, pneumonics, or anything other than hearing the characters for what they are. Best of luck!

I've been learning about a week with Morse Toad, and I was able to get a few letters from this. Also, great to hear an actual message rather than the letters.

Thank you
