[GreenKeys] early automatic Morse to Baudot equipment?

[Roy Morgan]

Folks in my radio club are working with Morse Academy online.

I gather that you get a mentor and hook up with that person via Skype or similar.

The DXZone entry for it is here (it includes links to a number of practice programs).

The home page of the system is at:

Which tells:

Morse Academy Overview

The Learning session introduces characters from the keyboard and via a flashcard mechanism relating sounds and character images. An interactive Receiving game provides the student with immediate feedback for characters sent and copied. MA is a DOS based program that operates well under Win95/98/ME. However DOS games are not fully supported by Microsoft in Windows 2000 and XP. Fortunately a program DOSBox fully emulates all the features required to use MA in these newer versions of Windows. For details on how to install and use MA under this emulator, see using MA under XP.

An Endurance session helps students extend skills by playing against the computer in an attempt to build the length of time they can copy correctly. The Proficiency session allows longer session copying of text either on the computer keyboard or with paper and pencil. Actual tests generated by MA can be used for practice. ASCII files of tests and keys for use by VE's (Volunteer Examiners) are produced for printing. The quality of these tests allows them to be used to administer examinations. The ARRL (American Radio Relay League) VEC (Volunteer Examiner Coordinator) uses Morse Academy as a tool for its VE groups to administer Morse Code testing.

I have an app on my iPhone called HamMorse.  I can listen to code any time.
