Morse Code Tools

I love this RSS newsfeed/Twitter morsereader. I asked for support of international letters a while ago and @dc3dreamer implemented it. Works perfectly for Norwegian æ ø å, as well as Swedish ä ö. #hamr https://t.co/kHCnppttIE

Morse Code - A Visual Guide

I stumbled across this visual guide for Morse Code. Some of them make sense and might be helpful in remembering, but others are stretch for me.

Vibroplex acquires Bencher

I'm not a CW guy, but I read this post about Vibroplex acquiring Bencher and discovered that Vibroplex was located in Knoxville. I had no idea. Ten-Tec, that I posted about earlier today, is just down the road a piece and Vibroplex is basically in my backyard. Small world.

Binary

No offense to your dots and dashes, Mr. Morse, but how much can you ever do with just a binary code? #hamradio pic.twitter.com/C9r17KBFxi

Bayesian Morse Decoder

 A Bayesian Morse Decoder

"To demonstrate the Bayesian decoding capability I tuned my KX3 on W1AW frequency 3.58105 Mhz at 8:00 PM EST today and let two identical FLDIGI copies of the same v3.21.75 software running from the same audio source. I have a SignaLink USB connected between KX3 and my ThinkPad laptop running Linux Mint OS. 

On Fig 1. below I have the legacy SOM decoder on the left side and the new Bayesian decoder on the right . The legacy decoder makes a lot of errors and CW bulletin is not really readable. On the right side I have enabled Bayesian decoder and you can actually read the bulletin, though the lack of proper word spaces make this still a bit difficult to read. In any case Bayesian decoder provides significant accuracy improvement with real life noisy CW signals."
