The Long Island CW Club in New York is offering free online Morse code instruction for the “many youngsters at loose ends as a result of school closings due to COVID-19 concerns.” The club’s co-founder,
Howard Bernstein, WB2UZE, pointed out that learning Morse code is “a fun and educational activity for children of all ages that can fill part of the gap left by the current unfortunate situation that has closed so many schools across the country.”
Ongoing classes will take place Monday through Friday, specifically for school-agers anywhere across the country or overseas, via Zoom online video conferencing.
A computer equipped with a microphone and camera is required. Classes for elementary schoolers run 30 minutes starting at 1600 UTC, followed by 45-minute classes for middle- and high school-aged students, starting at 1645 UTC. Parental permission is required through advance registration.

Many folks are stuck at home right now. As a result of the Pandemic, many of us cannot go out to see friends and do their usual activities. We know that many Hams are looking around on the Internet for Amateur Radio project ideas and information. In an effort to help, we recently spent some time organizing all of the information on our blog, https://stationproject.blog concerning Amateur Radio Station construction.
There is lots of information on shack design and construction, tower and antenna building, and much more on our Blog. The link above contains lots of information including pictures, videos and how-to information on station-building. There is also a “Virtual Station Tour” available which provides some videos showing our station in operation.
We hope that this article will provide some useful information, ideas, and Ham Radio fun!
Fred, AB1OC
