Here’s a Morse Code chart I drew up which contains most of the International Morse Code symbols used in Amateur Radio today. I find the color version helps me identify new symbols quickly while learning. The colors pop out and help me “see” the rhythm. I did not include a list of prosigns or procedural symbols. For a good collection of common prosigns, procedural codes, and general CW QSO information, I would recommend checking out SKCC Beginner’s Corner.
I would like permission to print the colored version of this chart to use with my Cub Scouts at Scout Fair. We will be teaching other scouts how to use Morse Code. Do you have a high quality version that will print 20’x30″? Thanks!
Sorry for the delayed response. I’ll dig up the source and post some higher resolution copies.
Hi,
My name is Leisa Greathouse, curator of education at the Museum of the Cape Fear in Fayetteville, NC. I am writing to ask for your permission to use the color version chart (above) of the Morse Code you are using on your website. We are creating an exhibit of different interactives and one will be having a telegraph set up for visitors, especially children, to send a message. We need a good chart for visitors to use. The chart would be mounted as part of the display. This is one of the clearest charts I’ve seen. I see your call letters are on it so I wanted to get your permission.
Sincerely,
Leisa Greathouse
Would also like a higher resolution image of the color morse code chart. TNX
Hi:
Having been licensed for 67 years, all my licenses have been taken with CW and before the FCC, including the Extra Class. I also hold 2nd class RadioTelephone License (now General Radiotelephone Operator License) and now expired 2nd Class RadioTelepgraph License. The license is expired because it cannot be renewed if there is no activity.
I learned CW the hard way, by studying the printed version of each letter. I had to go back and learn it by sound. I had the help of an “Elmer” and lotsa’ hard work. This was while I was in high school. While learning by printed recognition probably helped, it is better to learn by sound. It is unfortunate that CW is no longer required for a ham license, as this was a “badge of honor” to pass the CW test.
I was a commercial CW operator for a police department during the 1960’s.

One of my students is researching Morse Code for a project. Would you give your permission for him to use the color image you provided here?
Thank you!
Of course!
