Identify Audio Morse Code
Do you have trouble identifying the Morse code identifiers of beacons? Gosh, me too! It always seems to be so fast, that I wonder how the World War 2 guys managed to do it while being shot at!
The good news is that I have created some for you to practise with for free. From the sounds and the timing (and a fair bit of listening), you should be able to identify not only the name of the beacon in Morse code, but also what type of beacon it is. Good luck!
