Re: [PLUG] [OT] SW radio question

I'm pretty sure there are at this point but I can't think of anything offhand.  I'm sure someone will answer that one though.

So I don't slam the group, to respond to your other message.  ***Eventually*** I would want to know who is left outside my region.  Initially I would not.  This of course excludes family and close friends as they are always top of mind but you have to solve closest problem first.  Another way to look it is, when you want to render help, you have to make sure you are yourself "safe" (quotes because there is more to this than the traditional definition of safe) to do so.  Before I reach out to people 1500 miles away, I need to first make sure I am ok, then my local community the parts of the region (subjective but for argument sake lets say within 300 miles).  That way if they need help with something there is a opportunity to more effectively communicate.  What do THEY need and what do I / WE have to offer.  Such conversations would initially will have to be short to conserve resources.

Perhaps this might be a good time for me to learn Morse Code. Is there
a free software Morse Code tutor?
