[CW] q vs y

[George Allgood]

Derek,

Good or bad for learning,  the musical phrase "HERE COMES THE BRIDE"
is  a perfect match for the rhythm of the morse letter "Q"  DAH DAH DI-DAH.
The letter "Y"  is DAH DI-DAH DAH which could be matched with the cadence of 
the word
COL-O-RAH-DOH.   You could likely find an associational match for all the 
Morse characters,
but it might drastically slow down the process of learning the code.

Hope this helps.
