Thank you all !

What free resources are there around the web to learn morse code?


A lot of them at URL:

Many are free.

Here is some study advice

COMPUTER PROGRAMS AND COURSES - There are many available -- see Morse
Programs and try them out -- choose the one that works the best for you.
Remember that the one that works for your buddy or elmer may or may not be
the best for you.

FOR MANY -- studying EVERY day for 15 to 30 minutes is successful. Leaving
long periods between study sessions is usually counter-productive. Studying
for long periods at a session - frazzles many a brain.

One long time code instructor advises; "Most people's problems with the code
stem from trying to learn it too fast without sufficient drilling before
they move on to each new letter. The average person needs about 30 hours of
study and practice on the code to hit 5 wpm. Now this is an average. Some
will take longer and some will take less." So a half hour in the morning, a
half hour in the evening and in a month -- you should have it.

Another advises: Whatever method you use, try to *hear* the code directly as
a letter. IOW, don't try to translate the sound into dot-dash and translate
that into A, just hear the dot-dash and think A. Easier said than done, but
when you master it your receiving speed will increase dramatically.

IN SUMMARY - THERE IS NO ONE SURE FIRE WAY -- THE LEARNER IS ENCOURAGED TO
TRY THE METHODS AND PROGRAMS THAT GIVE THE BEST RESULTS.
