It was only three tests but yeah, I feel kind of dirty about that, I bought a morse key, and a cd from ARRL. I found a really cool arduino kit that lets me hook my key to my iPad. I can identify all the letters of the alphabet now, but when I hear live transmissions I think to myself “that’s an A” 7 other letters have gone buy, doh! I’ll keep practicing.
My noise floor is really high where I live but I can hear those distant cw signals. I’m motivated to learn it.
