Here are some references from a Finnish magazine (Prosessori), in Finnish of course :-)

Mikrotietokone radioamatöörin apuvälineenä osa 1, Prosessori 11/1982

(describes how to send morse code with VIC-20. It uses a simple circuit with one resistor and one transistor to key the transmitter. It is connected to the control port)

Mikrotietokone radioamatöörin apuvälineenä osa 2, Prosessori 4/1983

(describes how to receive morse code with VIC-20. It uses a circuit with a dual op-amp LM358, 567 as a PLL, 7414 inverter/schmitt trigger and 555 as an audio oscillator. The circuit connects to VIC-20 control port. The circuit is based on a design that was published in Finnish magazine Elektroniikkauutiset 19/1979. The program is mixed BASIC and machine code)

No, I haven't tried these programs and circuits myself. Back then morse code was mandatory and that was a burden for me.
