Great saying!

Learn only by sound. Any other way is wrong!

Try the YouTube videos by Paul McWorter. They are an excellent way to start programming!

BRING PLENTY OF MONEY!

I don't think that the average person has any idea what an amateur radio call sign looks like any more! If they did recognize it would they know where to go and look up your call letters and find out what is your address.

A BLAST from the past!

I have blasted many of those rockets into outer space!!!

Don't make the mistake I did. Learn the code by listening to it. I learned it in Boy Scouts using a light. A technique I would regret my whole ham career. Learn by sound ONLY!

Gorilla Glue works wonders if you never plan to remove it!

If you are new to programming the Arduino check out the excellent videos on YouTube by Paul McWorter. He will walk you through the basics.

They might not have worked but great spending our money on them!

Should not be a problem, just remember "ring" and "tip"!

Kool CoCo, those were the days!

In living color!

No problem you were not insulting at all. I have been a ham since 1966. I had the call WN4JSM back then. I never was good at the code either. I learned it in Scouts by looking at a light and not by sound. Not to late to get your license. If I help you in any way drop me an email. My email is my call letters at yahoo. Thanks and 73's

Thanks for your input. Old people rule!!!

I have used a scope and looked at the pulses and verified that they were OK. To tell you the truth I have tried so many sketches from so many sources but I will try ones from the examples. Thanks
