Banana!?

I was sad when they dropped the code requirements for HAM licenses :(

Wow. I just started writing a morse code virtual keyboard earlier this week.
I don’t know morse yet, but the plan is to show which keys are accessible by a dot or a dash and provide enough feedback (i.e. timing bar, etc.) so that anyone (such as myself) can pick it up and learn by doing.

i bet macguiver sucked at morse code

oops clicked wrong link, delete that comment. do it.

I’m actually kinda happy they did. I never cared much about HF until now. I have technician, and since they dropped the requirement I can use RTTY and SSTV on 10M, and I can use morse on 80, 40, and 15. I think that working in HF is going to make me _want_ to learn Morse code. Before it would have been an obligation, and I wouldn’t have enjoyed learning it.

Why not just use a real key? It’s bound to work better. Honestly, this is more like, “How to turn most household objects into momentary switches using tinfoil.”

Now that’s hacking,
pure McGyver style

I want the nail clippers. Seriously, CW in my pocket, how cool would that be?
