From time to time, the Radio Club of Tacoma conducts classes in Morse Code for beginners and for those wishing to improve their skills. These classes usually emphasize self-study using one of the "Koch method" tutorial computer programs, along with a periodic classroom, video conference or on-air experience to reinforce and motivate participants to reach the desired level of skill. These sessions may include guided practice, table-top QSOs and other techniques. Different instructors may take different approaches.
