![]() I learned CW when I started my ham radio hobby, and spend many hours practicing in the Signal Corps in the Finnish Military. This mode is a simple digital communication that humans can learn by practicing hundreds or hours. One of the popular modes of communication in ham circles is known as CW (continuous waves) also known as Morse Code. When another ham responds to your call from some 17,000 kilometers away to make a contact it surely feels like magic. While we have Internet and instant messaging it is somehow very satisfying to setup a small portable radio station on a remote island in Pacific and using less power than a flashlight to bounce radio signals from ionosphere to reach out to the other side of our planet. ![]() Sometimes I take the radios with me to some more exotic location and attempt to make contacts with fellow hams across the world. I have been a ham (amateur radio operator) for over 40 years and love to listen the HF radio bands. I have been interested in Machine Learning for several years and trying to figure out how to build a better Morse decoder using ML techniques. Well, for some of us this gives an opportunity to delve into the mysteries of Deep Learning and Artificial Intelligence. What can you do when a Polar Vortex lands over North America and it is just too cold to go outside?
