Join members of the Cambridge Amateur Radio Club in an eight-week series of classes that will teach you to use Morse code and some of the history behind it.
\nMorse code\, or CW as known among amateur radio operators\, is using a combination of shor t and long &lsquo\;beeps&rsquo\; of a tone. The number and the combination of short and long &lsquo\;beeps&rsquo\; will signify a letter. You will b e surprised at how quickly you adapt to sense the difference among the var ious combinations and translate it to a letter\, forming words and sentenc es. Learning Morse code is a great way to challenge your mind and keep it sharp.
\nAmateur Radio (ham radio) is a popular hobby and service th at brings people\, electronics\, and communication together. People use am ateur radio to talk across town\, around the world\, or even into space\, all without the Internet or cell phones. It's fun\, social\, educational\, and can be a lifeline during times of need.
