is plenty of useful information here and the site
continues to be updated
Morsum Magnificat is a bimonthly journal for all
Morse enthusiasts, amateur or professional, beginner to veteran. Professional
Morse at sea is about to end and Amateur Morse, visualised as the last bastion
of Morse operating, is under longer-term threat. MM speaks out for Morse, and
nothing else. However, it is not a commercial enterprise and it exists only
through the support of individual enthusiasts, taking out subscriptions to the
magazine to keep "their journal" alive. If you are concerned about recent
developments it is in your own interest to support MM!
This web site exists
to describe what is typically found in MM. There is much of interest about many
aspects of the World of Morse here, and we hope you enjoy your visit. The
following links will take you to all parts of the MM Home Pages:

| Take a look at the summary of the contents of the back
issues to
see how much was packed into MM. | |
| Next, if you are a Morse enthusiast, take a look at the consolidated index
for MM since its first issue in the English language in 1986, to see what
you have been missing! This list vividly demonstrates how Morse telegraphy
has impacted on so many fields of activity in society, and its importance
to world communications from the middle of the last century right up to
the present day. | |
| For a "good read" later, save the examples of previous
articles we have taken from earlier issues of our magazine. We think
you will enjoy them! | |
| If you would like to know more about MM, how we began, who we are, and
what we have been trying to do, look at The Story of Morsum
Magnificat. | |
| If you are a beginner or are trying to improve your Morse, visit our Beginners and
Improvers Page where you will find material from past issues of MM
which may help you. | |
