Origami morse code with better legibility

I decided to try to improve the legibility of my origami morse code by making the space and dash more distinct. In this version the encoding is:

Dot = 1 length unit
Dash = 2 length units
Space = 4 length units

I was supposed to write “TEST CODE” but my morse is really rusty so I ended up writing “TEST COST”, oops!

Morse code Easter egg

Im trying to do a Easter egg in battlefield 1 and I do not understand morse code. Each code is unique to each player so sadly can't use any other code but this one. Just wondering if I can get help decoding this.

Origami Morse code

I’m an origami artist from Finland. A while back I got a crazy idea (in the sauna) of combining origami and Morse code.

There’s several ways to do the encoding with origami. But this one is fairly compact, unambiguous and creates nice looking results.

I made a Morse code app for Flipper Zero and it got slightly out of hand

I made a Flipper Zero app for Morse code. It started as "can I make the orange brick do telegraphy properly?" and then got slightly out of hand.

The first trick is Flipper-to-Flipper Morse: send from one Flipper, receive on another. Pocket secret-message machine. Utterly unnecessary, which is half the charm.

It is also useful if you want to get better at ARG games, beat the timer in escape rooms without crawling back to the Morse lookup table, become suspiciously useful at Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, get through scouting signal-badge stuff, or just finally understand what that random bit of Morse in cartoons and old films is actually saying. Or maybe you want to become a ham radio operator: low quality voice chat where the ionosphere decides what medical conditions you'll talk about next.

What it does:

  • Flipper to Flipper Morse
  • listen-and-repeat exercises
  • straight-key timing practice
  • sending drills
  • real telegraphic key or paddle over GPIO
  • USB telegraphy adapter mode for specialised practice sites and games (keyboard, mouse, and MIDI output modes)
  • smooth audio out on P2 if the buzzer starts doing your head in
  • built-in help/manual for learning without memorising Morse as dot-and-dash inventory
  • ham radio field mode with canned messages, rig keying, PTT, and logging

The first hardware adapter is just a 6.5 mm jack soldered to header pins. No PCB, no ceremony, just a small ugly hack that works annoyingly well. You can use the Flipper buttons, but a real key feels much better and is more fun to build.

BENS BEST BENT WIRE is a common telegraphy test phrase: the Morse equivalent of scribbling loops and those suspiciously round capital-A shapes when testing a pen.

Morse code is the GOAT

Sure Samuel Morse was kinda arrogant but it should never have fallen by the wayside. It is a legendary system of communication and it is physically impossible for it to die off completely.

Can you guys translate this for me?

My friend wrote this in Morse code and I can't figure it out

Is anyone up to the task of translating all of this for me?

It’s probably a long shot because it’s so much but I figured it couldn’t hurt to ask here. Even if a lot of it looks like random letters thrown together I really need it translated! 🙏

Translation from Grey House

I’m reading a play called Grey House and I’m trying to decipher the Morse Code but it’s not making any sense. It’s supposed to be dits and dahs method, but I can’t get any translation to make sense.
It’s listed as:
.. / .. . . / …. . . .. / ..

I’m assuming it’s supposed to say something like “I can’t hear u”, but the translation doesn’t make sense to me. Can anyone clarify?

How bad did I f*ck up?

Hey everyone, I started learning MC a year or two ago, but not seriously, just made up a bunch of pneumonics to remember the rhythms of the letters--I never counted dits and dahs, but had dumb little phrases like songs for the letters, things like: J=J-jaws jaws jaws, K=Kill them ALL, Q=Queen kills the King.

Now I've recently got more serious about learning. I joined this subreddit, and saw a super helpful post Gaining MC Proficiency w/ LCWO.net and I think I've screwed up royally.

I do 1-minute lessons on LCWO and I can do through lesson 20 between 25-30 WPM character speed and 8-10 WPM real speed. A lot of the letters I just recognize, but for quite a few I still hear my dumb pneumonics overlaid in my head.

I guess I'm not sure what I should work on first, should I work on getting character speeds up higher? Longer lessons to build stamina? Saying the letters and not just typing them? Or should I finish the lessons and then work on these things?

Also, I am REALLY struggling to hear the difference between these symbols / , = are those normal ones to get stuck on for a while?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Morse Trainer: an Android app for learning and practicing Morse code - junior learning project with react native

Hi everyone 👋,

I made a small Android app called Morse Trainer and I'd love your feedback.

The idea was inspired by a handheld Morse trainer made by Nux Modellbau:
https://nux-modellbau.de/gadgets/
(I have no affiliation with the company.)

The app lets you:
• Learn and practice Morse code locally
• Enter Morse with a single hold button (short press = dot, long press = dash)
• See the Morse tree visualized in real time
• Practice with another person by joining the same room and exchanging Morse messages in real time

I originally built it as a learning project to experiment with React Native, .NET SignalR, WebSockets and SVG rendering, but I thought other people interested in Morse code or amateur radio might enjoy trying it too.

Google Play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alkisax.nativemorsetrainer

I'd love any feedback, criticism, or ideas for improving it.

Do you know "one-letter" words?

Lemme show you an example: the word tea is - . .- in morse. If we combine it, then we would get -..- (x). Another example: the word ten in morse is: - . -. After combining we get this: -.-.(c)

English speaker, new to morse. Will these come into play in pursuing a radio license? Should I memorize them, anyway?

u/FocalSpot — 10 days ago

Can someone tell me what this means?

I found this code and I would like to know what that means

Seiuchy CW trainer is back up (kind of) — archived copy at learn-cw.neocities.org

If you've been into CW training for a while you might remember Seiuchy - a browser-based QSO simulator built by HB9FXW that let you practice head-copying at different speeds, key styles, and categories (RST, QTH, rig, callsign, etc.). It also had a full QSO mode that would just play out a complete exchange so you could follow along.

The original site (seiuchy.macache.com) went dark sometime around 2023 and I kept running into people asking about it or linking to a dead URL.

I dug up a copy from the Wayback Machine, stripped out all the Internet Archive scaffolding so it actually runs cleanly as a standalone page, and put it back up:

https://learn-cw.neocities.org

Nothing fancy - I didn't write any of it, that's all HB9FXW's work. I just wanted it to be accessible again. There's a note at the top of the page making clear it's an archival copy and pointing back to the original author if they ever want it taken down. If you haven't tried it before, it's genuinely one of the better head-copying trainers out there. Runs entirely in the browser, no account, no ads, no cookies.
