I've spent the past year learning Morse code, and it's ended up being a great deal of fun. I've had a lot of questions. I've tried to share what I've learned with others as I've gone along.

To celebrate the end of the year, I wrote a combination of information, story, and advice. How to get started, mobile apps and websites, books, getting on the air, learning to send, POTA, SST, keys and keyers. I'm not fluent or expert yet, but that means that I still remember what's hard!

Please feel free to comment with suggestions for additions. I've already added several improvements since publishing this last night, including multiple suggestions sent in DMs here. DMs or public comments are both welcome, whatever is most comfortable for you!

In particular, I have recently added the previously-missing descrpition of Ultimatic mode as well as a warning not to try sending with Bluetooth audio due to delay.
