I've been working on my Morse with the audio recordings available on the ARRL website from W1AW. At first I misheard it as -...- the ending character, but it's .-... and translated as an E with an accent mark. Is this some sort of prosign? <AS>? <RI>? Searched the lists and can't find it like <BT>.
Thanks and 73
More specifically, I am in bed cuddling with my toddler as they were having a fussy morning. I put my head down on the pillow and I start to hear a faint. "Dah dah di dah" beeping noise followed by a pause and then it repeats. When lift my head up, I cannot hear it anymore
Is it tinnitus? Is there some electronic that I can faintly hear? Does my neighbor have an underground bunker and is sending out the Morse code for Q because he is in Qanon? I'm so confused as to why I'm hearing the beeping
I know morse code but am looking for a morse code practice buddy. Anybody interested?
The website was very basic - black background with neon pink and green text. I used google to find it, but Google still looked very basic back then. It was some time around 2004 / 5, when I was around 11 or 12.
Just had a bunch of recordings and an email to mail if you were able to decode these sounds. I think they were broadcast on a radio station someone found.
The steam page which can be found here is curiously filled with a bunch of interesting text, a trailer of a satellite blinking the phrase "ITS GETTING DARK" in morse code, and has a few gifs saying "SATTELITE CONNECTION LOST". Perhaps there's more secrets to find on the store page?
This comment on my toki suli post got me thinking about how Morse code could be optimized for toki pona. Of course, as I responded there, it is perfectly possible to use standard International Morse Code for toki pona, but that fails to take into account toki pona's letter frequencies, resulting in less-than-optimal transmission rates.
My first thought was that, when Morse code was invented, people didn't know about prefix-free encodings or Hamming constructions yet, and the extra time between letter code units could be eliminated with a proper Hamming code. So I put in a bunch of effort to construct an optimal Hamming code for toki pona using the letter frequencies from this post... and then realized that the resulting code units were actually really crappy for Morse code usage, because dashes are 3 times as expensive as dots! And that results in a lot of really long code units. So, rather than trying to figure out how to rejigger the Hamming construction to account for asymmetric symbol weights, I decided to try out just listing out possible More code units in order of timing unit lengths, and assign the shortest code units to the most frequent toki pona letters. This is the result:
(Note that there is a dot-length pause between every dot/dash pair, and that is accounted for in the symbol lengths.)
1-unit symbols:
a .
3-unit symbols:
i ..
n -
5-unit symbols:
l .-
o -.
e ...
7-unit symbols
m ..-
t .-.
p -..
k --
9-unit symbols:
s .--
u -.-
w --.
j ..-.
Not sure this will ever be useful for anything, but it was kinda fun.

The last one seems to have been misspelled. Instead of '.-' it should be '-.' to make it an 'N'.
I'm really interested in learning and using Morse Code. I was wondering if there is a Morse Code key with USB or something that can connect it to a UI on my PC? I'm not really sure how to ask this, but I want a key that connects to my computer and an app that will create a workflow with the physical key. If anyone has any suggestions please leave a comment, I'm really eager to learn.

The letters I'm looking for that weren't present in morsedecoder.com: í, ú (Spanish). Help would be appreciated! Thank you
Hey, fellow hams!
I've recently discovered EchoLink and it seems to be an amazing way to contact with people by voice. Particularly, the "CQ" function makes things interesting.
I wonder now if there is a similar software for CW QSOs?
