Next are the readers/senders, these are programs that you can connect to your PC from your radio and they should read what is coming over from the frequency you are tuned to, and send what you type.
Great stuff for monitoring but they take the fun out of learning.
As with the training programs there are plenty readers/senders out there, but here's just a couple.
First is CW Decoder, simple, easy to use, and gives good results. If you click on the image opposite you can download it or just get a more in depth summary of what it can actually do.
And the old faithful CW Get, what can I say about this one? Another great program which is also easy to navigate around and has less visible buttons to click to get the same results.
And below CW Get is a video from David AF5DN which he posted on youtube where he gives a bit more insight into the two programs on the right and another one, the MRP40.

To the left are links to SDR (Software Defined Radio)
and University of Twente WSPR (Weak Signal Propagation Reporter)
These are a good start for those wondering what Amateur Radio is about and are valued by those already licensed so as to hear or see how far their signals are getting out.

I put a morse code course together from my own experiences in learning the code, but as is said with Morse, it needs keeping at so as to keep the 'Language' in your mind, something i must admit I lacked at times. Peter 'M0RGN'

Useful links and Apps for CW
K7QOs method is straight forward enough
There are quite a few good programs that can be used to go with K7QOs method, which can be seen in the links opposite.
Now to use CW Player in line with K7QOs method you chose the 'alphabet' section, then take out the letters that you haven't covered yet.
Another one, which is an Android App, is CW Trainer. See the video for all the info on this one.
These are just two trainers that you can use, but there are loads out there to try.
