Hi Jeff!

Sorry, it wasn't clear if you were suggesting you'd come upon a novel and/or useful learning method. Obviously, those on this list are not seeking training, but we advise others, so learning methods interest many - I thought that's why you posted it. In that context, its limitations were worth reiterating.

While that approach to parsing dits and Dahs into letters has been around for a VERY long time - the use of coins showing it could be new. Multiple ads advertise such on E-bay almost every day (clogging my searches for telegraph and Morse goodies), so somebody must be buying them :-)

Happy New Year!

It's pretty self-evident how it works,Chris, and I didn't suggest it was a method for learning the code. Anyone subscribed to this list more than likely already knows the code.

Apparently some on here thought it was unique enough to purchase -- suddenly there were 50 sales of it.

That way of decoding or perhaps learning Morse has been around for a very long time.  You follow a tree of dots and dashes to find the letter.

While intellectually compelling, it is useless for learning the rhythms of the code, which is critical to all forms of copying.
