A Budget Code Practice Oscillator for Morse Code Learners
Mark H. Hoffman, KC3BNV
�
Morse code is alive and well on the ham bands! If you're not yet part of the
fun of CW operating, it's never too late to learn, and the simple project
presented in "A Budget Code Practice Oscillator for Morse Code Learners" can
help get you there. Author Mark H. Hoffman, KC3BNV, created a simple circuit
that's enclosed in a 3D-printed case. Check the digital edition of the
December issue for a video of the build that shows just how easy it can be.
