I built the Morse Tutor, and wanted to drop by here and thank Bruce for a great project and excellent description.
I am a fairly new ham, and really enjoyed the experience of getting the parts ($4.66 for 5 PCBs incl shipping!?) and programming and building the Morse Tutor. I heard about the tutor on the Ham Radio Workbench podcast, and because of the credit given in the Tutor's description am looking into Jack Purdum's projects as well.?
Little disappointed that after plugging it in I still don't know morse code. Instead of the work that is involved in fixing that, I've been adding some code, I thought it would be fun to practice with news from websites (saw that in the Ham Morse iPhone app). The code allows you to select an RSS feed it and plays the title and descriptions of entries in the feed. Yes, RSS is still around, and I included feeds with ARRL news, Southgate arc, BBC and a few others.
If anyone is interested it's at?
If you have a better way to do this, or have some suggestions for different ham related RSS feeds to listen to, let me know.?
Thanks!
