history
Project history and usage
morse, packaged from the morse-classic project, is a command-line Morse-code trainer and QSO generator associated with Eric S. Raymond's CATB software pages. The resource page describes it as a training program for aspiring radio amateurs that can generate random tests or simulated QSOs resembling ARRL test material, with options for varying the training method.
How it is used
The tool's practical use is deliberately old-school Unix: one mode reads text from standard input and renders it as Morse-code beeps, while the QSO generator creates practice copy material. Its package-manager niche is a compact ham-radio and Morse training utility, distributed in Homebrew alongside Debian and Ubuntu packages under the plain morse name.
