Have one for me, Moonbeam.

I'll hoist a root beer in memory of that feeling.

The main thing that holds me back is my dad lol. We usually study and upgrade together but he could never get the code (he has no musical ability whatsoever) so we went for general after they dropped it. Maybe I'll just study on my own for Extra and get it though. I took the extra test when I went for general because they let you try the next higher one for free. I don't know how well I did and it could have been in another language as far as I was concerned.

I also have the ARRL cd set for learning morse code and each track introduces another character and then tests you a little so I will lay there in bed and listen to the beginning of each track to try to implant them all in my mind. I know all the letters I just can't copy them at a high speed because I'm at the lookup table in my mind stage. hopefully I will overcome that. Straight Key Night is coming up so I'll probably have a listen to that to get some practice and maybe even try to make a contact depending on how well I've done and if I have an antenna that works.

Here are some interesting links that I found about morse code in music:

In the last link you can hear the morse code like effect best at the very end. To me it sounds like 2 different morse code messages being sent at once rather than one and the one link says that it is simply a keyboard effect.
