I was a little curious and of course, there is a ton of options out there, many
of which are mostly visually based to start with from my brief search.
However, The National Association for Amateur Radio has some good information.
Here is a link to the page with mp3 files for all the letters, numbers 0-9 and
some punctuation, etc.

Yeah, you just have to have a collection of lame jokes to Ham it up.
Is there a tutorial for learning morse code. I think it is interesting.

Of course, you are correct, my friend.
Now that I think about it, I think my biggest fear about becoming a ham was
having to learn Morris code. In all of the television shows and movies,
etc. I've seen, Morris seems so complicated and mysterious.
As a very kind list member informed me, off-list, earlier today, one does
not need to learn Morris, any longer in order to be a ham.
Still, I think I'd like to try my hand at learning Morris code.

And if you fail then you try again, I am sure failing this test will not
mean you can't try again.
Life is too short to be afaraid of failure.

Hi,
You know, there are not a great many things on my bucket list but one of the
items is becoming a ham.
I have wanted to become a ham for over 30 years but have not done so, to be
honest, because of my fear of failing the licensing tests.
Now I don't know much about it but back in the 80s I had a couple of friends
who wanted to get their licenses but failed to do so.
I don't want to go off topic, on this, but if anyone of you hams would like
to send me the steps on how to go about getting a license and an blind
and/or low vision accessible way to go about it, send me a reply, off-list,
as I would greatly appreciate it.
Mark

Mark, being the ham radio op that I am, I can't resist the temptation to
suggest you get a ham radio license. That would enable you to use a "handy
talky" which would allow for great communication. The two of you might have
been able to use an app called echolink.

Subject: Wishing for a Simple WalkieTalkie App for iOS
Hello Everyone,
Earlier this weekend I and a friend were up in the San Francisco airport
waiting on a flight back to Los Angeles.
As we had quite a bit of time before our flight, we decided to explore the
airport, separately, and meet back at the gate after a While.
I thought this would be a great opportunity to actually use the Walkie
Talkie app on our Apple Watches to stay in touch.
It didn't work as well as I had hoped. For one thing, there were so many
people crowded in the airport that I couldn't hear the speaker on the watch
when she tried to reach me. Add the ambient noise of all the people,
coupled with the endless and continuous flight announcements, and, for me,
at least, it was an impossible situation. I had to hold my wrist against my
ear and I felt silly doing it and my arm got tired, very quickly.
Second, when I tried to use my Airpods to connect directly to the watch???
Well, let's just say that my VoiceOver / Walkie Talkie app experience was
not a good one.
Although I have used the walkie talkie app many, many times, when at home,
this was the first time I had tried using it out in the wild, as it were.
She told me that she could not hear me on her watch, either, for the same
reason. Now she has quote, normal, quote hearing, relative to mine; so I
know that the problem was not completely owing to my poor hearing.
So, the question:
Can you recommend a simple push-to-talk walkie talkie app that will work on
iPhone?
When I search the app store I see so many but really have no idea of which
one is best for VoiceOver users.
Now I just want a simple app that works as much like the walkie talkie app
on the watch but, of course, works on the phone.
I read, somewhere, that Microsoft Team has a pretty good walkie talkie app
feature but I'm not certain if it will work in a non-enterprise scenario,
between only 2 people.
Just so you know, we ended up using text messages to stay in contact in the
airport but it would have been nice to use a more direct voice interface.
All replies greatly appreciated.
Mark
