Just in case this has not yet been posted the attached link provides a great site for learning code and building speed. You can define the "speed" and "pacing" to create a flexible Farnsworth regime based on your current skill levels and target goals. I learned basic code over 40 years ago in training for the Navy and Merchant Marine. That knowledge is still there but just a little rusty. However, after a handful of review sessions using the link shown below it has dramatically increased my speed.
Code is a great skill to have and it can really come in handy when needed. You don't require a radio either. A good flash light, car horn, boat horn, etc. can always be used in a pinch. It may even save you life!
Just another example of one of the important skill sets (like first aid, wilderness training, living off the land) that many of us learned as kids (in Boy Scouts) that can come in handy during a life-or- death survival situation. Few people seem to know these things any more. Rather, they simply rely on the "Nanny State" to take care of them when things like Katrina happen. It is a terrible tragedy to see our country decaying from within like this!
