Ham University - Morse Training and Testing
QST Review by Dan Miller November 2001
Actual Morse code lessons are accessed by clicking on (Lessons.¦ You must first put a Lesson Plan together. This is easily accomplished following the directions guided by Morris the Cat˜an animated cat who assists by describing each function the mouse pointer indicates. My favorite method is the (Exercise¦ approach done by copying with the keyboard. What you type is shown in the lower panel. At the end of the exercise, you can compare what you typed with the sent message displayed in the upper panel. Variables that you can manually adjust include speed in words per minute, character speed, message length and word length. In addition to all this, Ham University offers a Morse game called PENTODE. The object is to build a large number of points in a short period of time. These points are received by connecting two or more tiles (the more the better), each containing the same character, as a diode (side by side), triode, tetrode or pentode. Personally, I found the game far less exciting than the speed exercise to copy Morse on the keyboard in the shortest possible time.
Conclusion
Ham University is an excellent tool for anyone wishing to use a computer to study for an Amateur Radio license, regardless of which level they wish to pursue. Of course, my recommendation is to use such a program in conjunction with a class. In the absence of such a class, Ham University provides everything you need to go from ground zero all the way to Amateur Extra+in the comfort of your own living room.
I¦d be remiss in this review if I neglected to mention something else. Displayed at the top of each page of the instruction booklet is a flag of a foreign country. Next to the flag is the appropriate country name, accompanied by its latitude and longitude, CQ Zone number and call sign prefix. This is a very nice touch, adding to the educational and instructional factor of the Ham University program.

This is an excellent shape puzzle game you'll have hours of fun with. So get your memory ready!
In this game a number of cards are put on the table upside down. Each card has a shape on the face. A click on a card makes it flip over letting you see the shape on it. But no more than two cards can be shown at a time. This means when you click a third card, the first two will flip over again, so you can't see them anymore. Only two cards have a specific shape. Your job is to memorize the position of each shape and find its pair. If the shapes of two cards you click on are the same, they disappear and a shape of a tick mark appears instead. The game ends when all of the cards disappear. In the end if you've completed the game in a timely manner, you win and you're name is added to the "Best Times" list.
There are 3 levels (easy, Intermediate, hard) and 4 shape sets: (animals, fruits-vegetables, kids, office stationary).

Moraff's Phrase Detective is a clever and addicting word-puzzle game. Each round presents a jumbled-up phrase, quotation, or palindrome that you must reconstruct in the fewest moves possible, while keeping an eye on the clock. You play by swapping blocks around, with the game giving subtle clues found in the varying height of the letter blocks. You'll find plenty of stylish features here. You can select from two sets of beautifully rendered 3D blocks (polished wood and stone), solve random phrases that are wickedly clever in both composition and diversity, and enjoy gentle background music that can be customized in the included MIDI player. With excellent documentation, a special surprise gift, and more than 1,000 phrases in its database, Moraff's Phrase Detective will provide many hours of family fun.

Moraff's UltraBlast is an addictive paddle-ball game. Loosely patterned after Breakout and other Pong clones, it brings excellent improvements to the field. It features slick graphics, customizable music, decent-quality audio, and support for two players. The objective is to eliminate all blocks from each level while keeping time and statistics in mind. Game-play is right in the pocket, with free-roaming paddles that allow superb control of shot English and counter spin. With spinning swirls and blinking eyeball textures, and killer block effects such as replication, explosions, and traps, you might never want to return from UltraBlast land. Several levels are included. When you exit UltraBlast, a "bonus" tile game is presented. Play either with your mouse or the keyboard. Either way you will sit for hours trying to conquer this one.

Moraff's 3D-Jongg is a mahjong game that offers excellent ray-traced graphics, with game tiles that appear to be made of wood and marble. This new version includes a completely redesigned tile maker program, image browser, background brower, layout selector and more! The 3D aspects are simulated, as sculptures rise from the tiles and cast shadows. The number three has additional significance in this game -- you're required to remove three tiles at a time and not just two like traditional mahjong solitaire, making the game a bit more challenging. The object of the game is to match and remove all tile sets from the board in the shortest time. Hint and cheat options are available -- along with multiple undo if you become stumped. Other options include a game timer and score keeper, music, sound effects, and a wide choice of tile stack formats. You will be pleased with the games configurability and save option.

Moraff's RingJongg mahjong board is the most challenging of all of Moraff's mahjong games as it has the least amount of winnable games. This new version includes a completely redesigned tile maker program, image browser, background brower, layout selector and more! You will play for hours trying to match the smooth textured rings, or life savers as they are commonly referred to, determined to beat the computer. It features excellent graphics, sounds, and performance. The object of the game is to eliminate the matching rings. A statistics file can be kept to track your progress. RingJongg is an easy game to learn, but hard to beat. Features include: Undo, hints, and more! Play full screen or windowed.
