Thank you!

Thanks!

Thanks!

So please Kurt, tell me one thing. As a beginner should you type or write it down ? Or just listen to stuff like Morse Code Ninja without making notes at all ? I stick to 20/8 for now learning the alphabet but fear that typing and handwriting lets me hit a wall at some point. Worst is typing on a tablet keyboard I found out. Normal keyboard feels good when I just look at the screen. I am very very fast and secure in typing. We got drilled in economy school at a young age. Still don't want to loose the ability to note CW in the field on paper. So I switch between keyboard and pen and paper at the moment. I wonder if listening to lessons like on your channel could give me an extra boost or if I just should listen to CW lessons and stop typing and handwriting at all. Glad we have you, cheers from Bavaria.

Thank you millions. :-)

noob here and unlicensed SW listener, and i'm still trying to learn morse, but already i can recognize CQ without even remembering how to write C or Q individually, by force of habit when i used to listen on SDR to ham bands.

Love this!

Thank you very much for Morse code reception exercise.73!From Russia.

Thanks again Kurt!!!

Once you master this, replay the video with 1.5x speed and you get 22 WPM :)

Not 100% at 35 WPM - January 2025 Let's all persevere, said this old man. :)

It took me years to understand English speech.

This is still too fast for me. I am able to get one or two words. Maybe another year of practice will help!

GOOD DAY KURT !!!! MNI TNX !!! 73!!!! de US4ET Victor ..

Thank you very much for the course. Best regards from Switzerland.

Another super useful exercise, thanks!!

Thanks for continued work to improve our Cw cpi

Thanks for the video.

Hello. Will the new episodes continue to be uploaded to the podcast? Thank you.

Kurt - I am loving the materials you supply, and right now at 4:37 into the 3-letter combos from words at 20 WPM I'm knocking on mid-80% range for correct combos. Thanks! My goal is to hand copy at 20 wpm ('cause a written record is important in emergency comms) and finally I think I'm gonna get there. However, I think my case illustrates that there are differences in learning styles or maybe it is mental capacity. I started my Morse journey with an app that was pure ICR. It used Farnsworth timing and started with characters K and R. When I got to the specified accuracy for those two characters, it added a third, don't remember which. Then a fourth, and so on. I worked hard at it and regularly, but by the time I got to 13 or 14 characters, as if by magic I began confusing "K" and "R." I could hear the difference, just not remember which was which. I gave up and restarted several times with the same result. I don't disagree that ICR is the "right way," it is just that I have some kind of learning limitation that made it not work for me. I tried some other apps and online resources and then purchased an old course based on "wacky association..." for each character. Within a few weeks I could copy the whole alphabet, ten digits, comma, period, slash and question mark at about 5 WPM. That was what I needed for my learning style/mental capacity; "KAN-ga-ROO" and "Ra-PUN-zel" got me over the K/R confusion, and I'm past it. After that I spent quite a bit of time going through the W1AW code practice then came across your excellent materials. I started with your letter/number pairs at 20 wpm, finished all three hours +/- of that and launched into this. It is WORKING! THANKS KURT! And everyone else - don't judge me (and others like me) because we sin differently than you. Yes I know that the wacky associations slow me down. But like the turtle, slow and steady at least gets me there. And there is hope for rehabilitation; sometimes I know the letter before the wacky comes to mind. Amazingly, sometimes I say the wrong wacky under my breath but my hand writes the correct letter.

thanks very much

Thanks!

Yet another awesome video!!!! Thanks so much Kurt!!!!!!

oh yea, this right here, is where my CW learning level is at

Much better...

I learned with the original Farnsworth Recordings. I got my Extra Class licensed when 20 was a requirement. NG5W. I am a reading teacher focusing on helping dyslexics. Much of this is applicable to my students.

need to rekindle my memory in cw, got rusted since 1998. 73

Hi Kurt, I’ve been doing all lessons so far to 4-F but I feel like I’m still counting the dits and dahs in my head instead of memorizing the rhythm. I already increased the speed but now it’s too fast for me. Is that just a phase or should I try something else?

Hi! great files, man! i just started and i was wondering: Do you have an mp3 file so ppl can download and practice on the go instead of using their data? Most yt downloaders dont allow long videos.

Sounds like RTTY 😂

Thank you for this content

Thank you for your work. It is really appreciated - -... ...- -

This is exactly what ive been looking for! Thank you!

It says " This can't be played in the background,what does that mean,maybe my Zello App is preventing it.

"Common", cut numbers? I have never heard mixed cut numbers and ordinary numbers. And I've listened to thousands of broadcasts 1 = A 2 = U 3 = V 4 = 4 5 = 5 6 = 6 7 = B 8 = D 9 = 0 On a few amateur websites, 7 is listed as 'G', this is clearly a mistake and I've never heard it used., but it is listed by a number of amateur radio websites.

Thanks Kurt!

Thanks Kurt! I do Morse code practice each day on 7020 Khz CW between 09:00-10:00. Utc.73 de ZS5DG in South Africa.

Thanks Kurt,i fiind this very helpfull.gott 100 percent pass this time.73 de ZS5DG.

Just subscribed to your KZbin Channel.Trying to get back to CW.i can send at 12 WPM. But my challenge is to receive.73 deZS5DG in South Africa.

Just learned the alphabet today, it wasn't too hard. But listening is really challenging. Guess I just need to practice a lot.

Thank you for this course. Very good.

Hats off to Kurtz who is producing an incredibly large amount of learning material to anybody who wants to dive into morse learning and practice. Earlier this year, Kurtz provided me with very valuable advice that motivated me in my learning journey and I am still practicing daily in order to achieve fluency. Currently practicing at 22wpm starting from scratch one year ago, I owe my progress to Kurtz. Many thanks to him. I cannot recommend enough this video from Kurtz : kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3PPmZt4gJZ2eNk It is very informative and it tells everything one should know about morse code learning. I watch it regularly in order to keep motivated, my reference.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, PLEASE.

Just what I needed. Thanks!

Good afternoon, could you please tell me what the very loud buzzer tone is for? Can't figure out a pattern. There is one around 44:15-44:19 and another at about 44:31 but there were others before. I really appreciate the effort you have put into these. A guy in my CWOps class brought them to my attention as I am fine with the sending but the copying is my Kryptonite, these are a great help. Thank for your work

How can I download this to my computer or phone???
