Since it first appeared, Morse99 has become virtually a UK industry standard for pilots looking for a reasonably painless way of learning the Morse Code. Morse may now be in the process of being phased out for many purposes, but it will still be used within aviation a long time to come, as a means of identifying navaids, etc, and Morse still forms a part of the CAA CPL examination syllabus. This is actually quite an enjoyable way of self-teaching yourself Morse. It cleverly first arranges the letters into easily comprehended groups with similar characteristics, then enables you to test yourself on individual groups until you know you have mastered them, before going on to extend your knowledge of the Morse alphabet. The tests can be adjusted for speed (from 5 to 200 words per minute) and tone, and you can work up to a full-scale replica of the CAA test. Really keen types can go farther, and learn such esoteric parts of the code as numbers, or even Morse punctuation marks.. There is an option to use a lamp as well as (or instead of) the Morse sound, and you can type any message and have Morse99 play it back to you. It loads extremely easily, its functions are completely intuitive, its demands on the computer are minimal and it is very reasonably priced.
