Having SSB on your radio will make the morse a lot more copyable.

The one advantage morse code still has over voice is that you can
understand morse on a weak signal when voice or data won't come in
well. Morse also takes up less bandwidth than voice and less power
to
transmit over an equal distance.

- A lot of the morse you will hear now is computer generated,
- not so much hand keyers anymore, although I'm sure there
- are some out there.

Computer {Keyboard} Generated and Computer and
most likely Generated {On-the-Screen} Decoded too.

I remember when I learned morse code back in 83, the hand senders
would have their own accents from countries just like the language. I
haven't heard a hand sender yet with my revival in shortwave. Just
bots or computerized generated morse. I sure am rusty with morse
though..... I seem to have to think about characters before typing
them which really slows me down. I'll have to get some software to
help me get efficient again.
