If y'all actually want to learn Morse Code (CW) spend an hour a day listening to this YT channel. (Sorry, I know it's YT)

there are phone apps too.

While true; they aren't useful for actually learning the language.

CW is a language and the only way to learn a language is immersion. Phone apps can teach you letters and such but the only real way to learn is through brute force. There are certainly some that will do this but the majority out there will just teach you how to translate letters.You need to hear words to be successful.

I do mostly CW ops, I'm not great with it but I can do 10-12wpm pretty consistently.

Long and short is essentially binary. I suppose you could send an encrypted message using a lazer to someone far away, all it takes is some open space between and a light sensor on the receiving end.

Anne and Diana, in Anne of Green Gables, used pre-defined light signals to send messages from the windows of their rooms, when their houses were far away. That was kind of fun.

It's brilliant, and hard to censor as whoever want to block the light has to physically put something big in between. Built something like that as well decades ago, a light in one end of a dark room and a receiver in the other end reading light. It was slow but could interpret one character ever 500ms and put it on a display.

Today we could use lasers and a parabolic receiver to reflect the beam to the sensor, takes a bit of calibration tho but definitely doable and I bet we could get speeds close to fiber optic cables if nothing interrupts the signal.
