Would anyone be interested in beta testing an Android app that allows people who are deaf/hard of hearing to use CW (Morse code)? It transduces the sound of dits and dahs into vibration using the haptic motor, flashes from the flashlight, and/or displays on the screen. I'd appreciate usability feedback:

Do you know those odd little Chinese boxes sold as #CW trainers? I built an alternative: a #morsecode trainer for #flipperZero that teaches your ears first, rather than the usual visual teaching aids.
It generates LCWO-style exercises, grades straight-key timing, works as a VBand/Vail adapter, and at experimental end, doubles as a #QRP rig.
No extra hardware required: the joystick works as a straight key or paddles. It can do elekey A/B/ultimatic and more.

I am not a big fan of the capacitive paddles on the Morserino M32 Pocket, or indeed capacitive paddles in general. I want mechanical keys, preferably of the single-paddle type.
Many months ago, I re-modeled the official M32 Pocket case — which Hans adopted as the official case that he ships, specifically so that I could mash it up with my single-paddle key design. Then I took a long time to figure out how I really wanted it to work in the mash-up. I had to invert my design so that it will print, since the top case prints "upside down" on this face, but I look forward to transplanting my first M32 Pocket into a new case soon!
I should have this ready to bring to Field Day this weekend for people to try.

For group builds of my 3d-printed single-paddle Morse code key, I have revised my spreadsheet for calculating costs. It now has all the detailed breakdown I have considered.
Because it's not effectively inexpensively possible to buy exact numbers of any of the components, and the available numbers of items per unit sold is different per unit, there is always excess, and building one more key doesn't always make the waste go down. With the items I linked to in the sheet, as of the last time I updated the prices, here's a summary of costs, showing things like that it's more expensive per key to build 6 keys than 5 keys, due to a jump in excess components.
Keys: Total/per-key (cost of excess components)
1: $60.24/$60.24 ($50.82 excess)
2: $62.24/$31.12 ($43.39 excess)
3: $74.23/$24.74 ($45.96 excess)
4: $76.23/$19.06 ($38.53 excess)
5: $78.23/$15.65 ($31.11 excess)
6: $100.21/$16.70 ($43.66 excess)
7: $102.21/$14.60 ($36.24 excess)
8: $114.20/$14.28 ($38.80 excess)
9: $116.20/$12.91 ($31.38 excess)
10: $118.20/$11.82 ($23.95 excess)You can use the spreadsheet to compare costs for ordering different sets of components.
And you can use it to be completely transparent about costs of a group build.

What I'd tell a newcomer about 73:
Afaik, we use 73 because it sounds nice in #MorseCode.
73 is a friendly greeting extended at the end of a QSO. So who sends it expects and suggests the QSO to come to a close.
You can use 73 as is, or, after a particularly nice QSO in digi or CW as "vy 73".
You can also use it in other #hamRadio contexts, e.g., email. Some #hamCoC authors demand such use; I call that overregulation. Of the last 20 emails in the #JS8 mailing list, only 7 end with 73.

I made a very quick activation of Rigi Kulm (#SOTA HB/SZ-021 and #POTA CH-0167) today while #hiking with a friend from #switzerland. Loads of people up there coming to the summit by rack railway… #HamRadio #SummitsOnTheAir #ParksOnTheAir #Amateurfunk #qrp #elecraftkx2 #morsecode #mountains

The magic band is doing magic stuff. I can hear N2KW CQing on 50098.9 kHz CW at a distance of about 6680km.
Now I wish I had an actual 6m antenna; the tuned triband HF Yagi doesn't cut the mustard.

We, three #hamRadio nerds, manned DL0ABT/P (100 W) for the IARU region 1 CW fieldday. That competition has you operate #MorseCode for 24 hours away from the power grid.
So camping. Luckily, no terrestrial thunderstorms. Nor space weather blackouts, either; still, short wave conditions were mediocre, 10 + 15 m poor, incoming sound often more a hiss than a tone, only 21 contacts outside Europe.
Still, 660 contacts, which we consider a good result. We returned home happy.

Use the last hours to work us in #IARU Region 1 #Fieldday in #morsecode under DM3F/P from #Hirtstein in the #OreMountains. There are still plenty of #QSOs available! #HamRadio #Amateurfunk #S07 #Saxony #mountains

Man today's activation of US-0806 was a rough one. Contacts were extremely sparse and sporadic today. Finally decided to pack it in after getting 14 QSOs in 3 hours. I sent "QRT QRT de KZ4LN KZ4LN (dit dit)" and in immediate response OM2VL comes screaming in like a banshee.
A highly improbable DX contact from Slovakia to wrap up my #MorseCode QRP #POTA activation? Talk about ending on a high note!

#Recommendations please for free #morsecode #training resources, for #hamradio purposes.
Ideally, some Linux PC or browser based app that teaches both send and receive skills, would be ideal.
I'm taking my foundation licence again as both the powers that be and I have managed to lose my qualification. Plus it's 22 years on and a few things have changed!
I also really fancy getting good at Morse code this time around.

Since the HF bands are so "WONKY" and unpredictable, took a pause in my quest for QSO 10,000 at US-7956 to start my #ARRLAmerica250 journey with a #MorseCode #CW contact with #W1AW/0 Amanda #K1DDN TU

The #POTA #parksontheair Gods were in my favor during this morning's #QRPp #MorseCode Early Bird activation. Not bad for using a 9v battery and less than 200mW with my @qrplabs 40 meter #QCXMini

LICW's field day prep classes start on Monday June 1. These classes are held on Zoom and are free and open to the public. While these classes are focused on practical field day prep for operating in CW, they can also give you insight into what LICW classes are like, if you're curious.
The schedule and info about the classes can be found here:
