I've noticed that whenever I'm learning a new
language, the point at
which I feel that I've gained "
conversational"
proficiency
coincides with the point that I start dreaming in that language.
Tonight, I found that this applies to morse code as well.
I was sitting on some kind of cablecar, when I heard some faint,
hissing noises on the speaker system. I recognized it as morse code, but
all I could make out, was some series of CQs, followed by
"L".
At another point I was at the same morse course that I've been attending
for the past few months. A fellow participant started sending
"-.-.--" on the hand pump, a code which apparently doesn't
exist in the morse alphabet.
Update: I have later found out that "-.-.--" is the morse code of "!", the exclamation mark.
