I fortunately just missed out on having to learn it as the requirement was dropped before I did my IFR rating. Copped a bit of flack from the older guys back then for not knowing it, but my reply was simply that all the idents were written on the charts so no need to know Morse.

Flight service Mount Gambier 10.000001 WPM.

Back when I did my CPL in the UK we had to be fluent in receiving morse.

It was about as useful in my life as an instructor as the Decca and Omega navigation systems we had to learn.

I learned it from a tape, would have practised on car numberplates but lived in Jersey so I knew .--- really well.
