I just want to say I REALLY appreciate these videos; I’ve haven’t been active for a few years; but I told myself this year is the year I finally learn CW. These videos are helping me understand QSOs. I told myself once I can copy 7.5 WPM reliably I’m buying myself a new HF rig. It’s been almost 10 years since I sold my last one!

The op (DF4J) is the type that bother me. It is obvious by the number of repeats that he isn't getting the message and is replying much slower. DF4J should have sent as slow or slower to make sure the receiving station can actually copy the message. This is about message accuracy, not wagging your dick around the airwaves. I'm trying to re-learn CW after 30 years and these are the type of operators that make me not want to practice CW. I'm a former Navy Signalman, we would never to do this to a shipmate trying to practice his craft.

Plus people like DF4J seem to get annoyed at the many repeats. The whole thing would have been done and over much sooner if you would have reduced your speed and sent at a level he could comfortably copy. These people step on their own foot and then blame the other person... Brilliant!

Nice to here you are getting back into CW. I agree sometimes the qso takes longer because the higher speed demands more repeats. Don’t let the speedy stations discourage you. Most stations are nice and match the speed. Hope to see you on the bands some day! 73

It is one thing to enter HAM, another to enter morse, but now I realize that that morse has is own language. uf rsp rst 599 bt ga.... I was naively hoping to learn morse code and "key" hello how are you... What is this new layer, under morse??? Thx.
@LB8IJ
@LB8IJ 25 күн бұрын
Its prosigns, ur = you are, rst = readability signal strength, ga = good afternoon… it is not to many of them and actually makes It easier to copy when you get used to them. One of the first thing people tend to learn is the sound of cq before learning the letters c and q. Good luck on your cw!

I dont have a schedule for when, but I’ll share more as son as possible. I must also say that this is wery mutch stil under development, and it does not compete with an ATAS from yaesu. It is not suted for mobile mounting. So if you can aford one, go buy one from yaesu. But if you like me like to experiment and build stuff, I would love to see your take on this antenna😃

Hi. I am not exactly new, but have not been active for 40 years. That video made me feel a lot better about my awful performance on the paddle.

Very cool! And nice to hear our QSO, even if I did it with the help of my TRX. I started to learn CW just 21 weeks ago, so I am able to hear my callsign and some basics, but not yet ready to use my paddle to communicate. Anyway we are both in our logs and it makes a lot of fun. Inspired by your way into CW! Hear you on the next activation! Best 73 es 44 de Sven DL7PIP
