I found this when clearing out my mum's things, I did have a short wave radio receiver as a 9 year old but I do not remember ever wanting to learn morse, 6 old pennies

Nice find!

I did my 12wpm Post Office Radio Morse test at Mablethorpe in the early 1970s (For the Ham licence) then had to pass a "Flashing " test as a Trainee Royal Navy Officer in 1979.

actually since posting I remembered my Philips EE Kit had a morse code circuit so I suspect it was bought for me to practice

I had one of those - or summat similar.

Had a perforated piece of board that you pushed a hairpin type fastener through then attached the components by pushing their leads through the hairpin and securing with a spring?

Sort of "large print veroboard"

PS: So glad you resisted comment about my Flashing ..... :oops::D
