Looks like a nice kit for a beginner. Shame it shows dots and dashes for the 
morse code instead of dits and dahs to help people learn it by sound. I 
first started learning code with a CPO that also had the letters with their 
dots and dashes. I blame that for hampering may ability to handle higher 
speed code. It gets one in to the habit of an extra translation step of 
sound to dots/dashes then letter/number instead of sound to letter/number.
