I’m somewhat handy, but not like this kind of precision. As an avionics technician I met once said “Using a thing and maintaining it are totally different sports.”

As far as Morse goes, I’ve had some practice in it as a radio ham, but I’ve never had the speed that some of the older Elmer’s have. Just enough to be able to listen to the VOR and ILS beacons while flying and be able to tell if the letters are the correct identification without having to lookup the codes by hand.

I’ve been working on learning it quicker and more reliably using the Koch method, but that’s been taking a backseat to other things lately. You’ve reminded me I need to work on that too!
