If you want to be understood critically, You need to send the code rhythmically You have to send your dah Without going blah blah blah You need to send your dits So everyone will get it Always send your code So it can down the road And remember when it comes to Morse Never ever, no never ever stray from the course

I like the pairing of letters with situations, like the soldier changing step. When I was learning the code, I used mnemonics for just a few trouble spots. For example, I had trouble with F and L. I remembered the F had the same rhythm as "Get a hair cut", and L had the same rhythm as "The L with it". (And the L in the second one helped me remember which of the two was for L.) And the low planes versus enemy planes is great for demonstrating the importance of spacing.

The first mistake contemporary researchers did in trying to improve training videos was the assumption that the learner must be appeased and eased into a topic, that most people lack the attention span for straightforward material like this, and this idea that learning must be intertwined with "fun" elements in order to captivate viewers and an audience. This is all bullshit. People are capable of learning if so desired, we're able to pay attention when we want, and if we want to have fun, we either watch old training videos when not spending long hours giving briefs, or we go bar hopping when on leave after training for weeks as Army SIGINT guys. Then it becomes evident: learning isn't meant to improve, the masses are meant to be dumbed down, and the last card this shadowy government will play is the extraterrestrial threat card in the form of a hoax alien invasion. Don't be fooled, if they wanted to harm us they could have done so a long time ago. The tech it takes to get here from there, if weaponized, could destroy matter on planetary scales.

Was given an old J - 38 by a friend, Jerry Smith, WA9VPR, now silent key (SK), not long after getting my Amateur Radio ticket back in 1980 ! He said they called them, " Spit fire's ", because of how fast you could send with them ! Boy was he right ! Used that key up until a few months ago, when I wanted to go faster, and switched to the " Atomic " version of the J - 38, with of all things, a Russian crafted iambic key, and more recently a Vibraplex iambic ! Sad to see technology overshadow the first true binary code ! The " Off " and " On " , that Morse provided ! Sad too, that man's lazy nature, got in the way of many claiming they couldn't learn Morse Code ! IMHO, They don't know what they're missing ! '73 😉👍 GOD BLESS

Except that choosing the character length according its to frequency in common text was no invention of Samuel Morse. His original code was numeric, consisting of sequences of dots.
