Analyzing FCC amateur radio license issuance data, this resource presents monthly graphs and raw numerical statistics detailing the number of new and upgraded amateur radio licenses. The primary focus is on the impact of the Element 1 Morse Code test removal on HF privileges, specifically observing the transition rates from _Technician_ to _General_ and _Extra_ class licenses. Data is sourced from _QRZ Archives_ and processed using a custom Perl script to tally "Issued" licenses each month. The presented data, available in graphical, tabular, and raw XML formats, clearly illustrates the "spike" in General class upgrades following the rule change. It also highlights a consistent rise in new Technician licenses observed in March of both 2006 and 2007. While the dataset currently extends back to January 2006, providing a limited statistical snapshot for long-term Technician trends, it effectively captures the immediate climb in General class licenses.

CW Midi for Windows and for DOS (free), morse code MIDI file creator

Hidden transmitter hunting, often called fox hunting or Amateur Radio Direction Finding (_ARDF_), presents a unique challenge for radio amateurs. This resource details the _PicCon_ controller, a specialized device designed to automate the transmission of signals for such events. It integrates with a standard radio transceiver, functioning similarly to a packet radio TNC, by controlling the Push-To-Talk (PTT) line and injecting audio tones or modulated CW Morse code into the microphone input. The _PicCon_ unit is field-programmable using DTMF tones received via the radio, storing all settings in EEPROM for power-off retention. Its compact design and low power consumption (a few milliamps from a 7-35VDC source) make it suitable for remote deployment. An onboard LED indicates operational status, and a push-button allows manual start/stop of transmissions without DTMF. Typically supplied as a kit, _PicCon_ includes a PCB, components, and a comprehensive manual (available in HTML, RTF, and PDF formats). The kit provides a six-conductor interface cable, but users must supply radio and power plugs due to varied configurations. Byon, _N6BG_, developed this controller, which is available from the Byonics website.

To aid in learning and improving Morse code proficiency, this resource offers an extensive collection of downloadable MP3 audio files. The content includes character practice groups, common words, punctuation, and full-length novels, all rendered in CW. Speeds incrementally increase, catering to both beginners and those aiming to build speed, with options for _Farnsworth_ spacing at lower WPM and standard spacing for higher rates. The resource also provides a Perl script, `gus_morse.pl`, allowing users to generate custom audio files from UTF-8 text. Users can download archives of sequential MP3 files, with options for English, German, Spanish, Esperanto, and Italian content. The audiobooks progress from **5 WPM** to over **40 WPM**, with some archives offering _omnibus_ collections of multiple works. The site emphasizes the importance of consistent daily practice and patient aural observation to develop procedural memory, moving beyond conscious dit and dah counting to direct character recognition. It also details the transition from Farnsworth to normal spacing, aligning with FCC and ARRL recommendations.

Over 130 years after its inception, Morse Code remains a fundamental skill for many amateur radio operators, enabling efficient QRP operations, DXing, and contesting. This resource provides an in-depth look at the **Koch Method** of Morse training, a widely adopted technique that emphasizes high-speed character recognition from the outset. It details how this method can significantly accelerate proficiency, moving beyond traditional, slower learning approaches. The site also delves into the rich history of amateur radio, presenting articles such as "Radio on the Rio," which chronicles local ham activity in Socorro, New Mexico. Another piece, "The Russian Woodpecker," recounts the Cold War-era efforts of hams to counter Soviet over-the-horizon radar interference on the HF bands. Furthermore, the resource explores the fascinating intersection of ham radio and radio astronomy, highlighting the direct lineage between amateur experimentation and the development of modern radio telescopes like the **Very Large Array (VLA)**. It also includes an introduction to the 6-meter band, often called "The Magic Band," detailing its unique propagation characteristics and suitability for no-code licensees seeking long-distance contacts.

The HotPaw Morse Code Decoder application for macOS processes audio input to transcribe Morse code characters into text. It presents both an audio spectrum graph and a tone amplitude graph, which aid in configuring a narrow band audio filter. Operators can set the audio filter for tone frequencies between 400 and 1600 Hz, optimizing reception for various CW signals. The software offers user-configurable settings, including WPM dot/dash speed detection, a noise threshold level, and the option to use Farnsworth timing for inter-character spacing. The Morse code WPM detection automatically adapts from approximately 8 to 40 WPM, with a lock feature for the estimated speed. A High Speed WPM Mode is available for code speeds ranging from 40 to 80 WPM, catering to faster CW operators. The application's decoding performance is influenced by signal level, signal-to-noise ratio, frequency and WPM stability, keying quality, and proper configuration, with an initial learning phase required for WPM estimation to stabilize. An external microphone or line-in may be necessary for optimal performance on some MacBook models to mitigate fan noise or room reverberations. Version 1.4.4, updated on November 11, 2021, includes compatibility improvements for newer macOS releases. The developer, Ronald Nicholson of HotPaw Productions, does not collect any user data from the application.
