Simple procedures to code/uncode would do fine.

You already have such a decoder, sitting in your head.
Morse: Learn it, know it, use it.
It's the perfect form of communication, because it is pretty much medium independent. It can be written, transmitted via radio or audio, or by light, or by banging on pipes, whatever.
Even my 4 year old is starting to learn it.

I'm in white jelous for your kid  It will be absolutely easier for him/her to learn it since children always gets faster into new things than adults. As for me I don't realy need to know morse, cuz basicly I woun't be using it much anywhere. I thought of using morse code with addition to Enigma as it was in real life. But I don't want to learn everything by heart u know  Well.. Not today definitely..
Of course I would consider of learning this "multiplication table" again if it would be possible to create a mod for SH3 or in the Future release of GWX4 to use Morse and/or Enigma like an optional feature. In this way learning new things would bring much more motivation

It's actually quite easy to learn as an adult, with the proper motivation.
My motivation was this: If I did not learn it fast enough, the Army would send me to some unpleasant profession, such as the infantry. For 4 years, I used Morse every single day.
I still use it, too, as a ham radio operator. And I get a swelling of pride when my kid goes "dadidadit dadadidah".
I've never been a big fan of machine read code, but if you want something that will copy Morse over the air, you can look at using HamScope, a free program you can download at

It will translate audio Morse into characters for you, but not as good as a human ear. I've used it to do PSK31 and RTTY communications, by simply laying the microphone for the computer on the speaker of the radio, and the microphone of the radio up to the computer speakers.
