Morse...who has it memorized?

[JB74]

I was curious if any of you guys commited Morse code to memory? With the little space remaining in my brain, I didn't know if I would be wasting my time memorizing it. Any thoughts?

Had a student once that could read off morse faster than I can talk, but he was a ham radio operator. I barely can decifer it when looking at the map

Former Technician Plus ham N7FJF, so yeah, memorized. It's hard to slow down to the FAA's 3wpm.

More power to you if you can memorize it.

I stayed up half the night listing to morse practice mp3s and it is actually easier than you'd think to memorize (yes, my wife called me a freak'n nerd this morning).

I am using this chart to help. http://www.learnmorsecode.com/

What do you HAM guys feel is the quickest way to make it "stick".

If you know it fine. If you don't, why bother?
