Ummmm...can I admit to kinda cheating? :/ I mean, if I'm decoding & the first letters of the word are "s p e e -", I can guess the last letter is "d", because what else could it be? Or " a c c u r a - -", I'm thinking "c y".... (don't beat me!!!!)

Do you mean, translate the Morse, then use rot13, like this?: fb lbh yvxr zbefr pbqr genvavat / gung vf terng/ gurer vf ab fjpu guvat nf purgvat / vs lbh trg vg evtug gung vf gur bayl vzcbegnag vffhr / og

well... I'm in over my head! LOL
But I would like to learn. Can you please post some references? I see mentioned a handbook, but I am not sure where to look.
And what equipment does one need? It would be best of course to start with all that gibberish first, and then worry about equipment later
My grandfather was a ham operator. I only regret that I was too young to really understand and want to learn when he was still alive.

I think Trim mentioned "Now You're Talking" as a good book, but when I did a search I came up with multiple books with that name, so maybe he can specify which one he meant. If I can narrow it down, it's going on my Christmas wish list.

If you want to start learning Morse Code, hqueen13, I think there's another thread on the forum (it was called, "emergency communications", I think??) where Trim offers a few tricks to learn it. As you can see, I'm using his posts to practice.

edited to add: here's the other thread... http://www.sufficientself.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=11418&p=2

Hi Hqueen13,
I will provide you with some pointers for how I teach the morse code. I still think it is a very useful skill and hope you will join us in playing with it. Once you have that, we'll take you through some of the other kinds of code training and you'll start having some real fun here.

I use relationships to remember things. for instance E I S H . .. ... .... YOu see a numerical progression. T M O - -- ---
Then there are groups such as the N group. N D B (with the mnemonic device nondirectional beacon for all you aviators in the crowd!)
-. -.. -... Get it? There a two A Groups. A W J. And A U V. .- .-- .--- or .- ..- ...- (V having the mnemonic device Beethoven dit dit dit dahhhhhhh)
Now you have the organic chemistry class called "enantiomers" which are mirror images of each other.
R/K. .-. -.-
Or P/X. .--. -..-
FQ ( the mnemonic is not for children) or L/Y (love you)
So do you see the patterns?

Best
Trim sends
