Good idea getting more of us hams into ditties. I have been a ham about a year and never made the time to learn morse. My main exposure was in the Ft Devens, Mass in 70-71. I was in electronic maintenance school but was assigned to a unit that trained Morse intercept operators.
I built a CPO and hooked it to a J38 and am practicing both sending and receiving. The computer program I like is lcwo.net. My speed is pathetic and I'm studying trying to recognize words,
So have to ask Jack, What is a BOM?
