thank you for your help l have been off the air for about 30 years and now getting back into it and once more thank you for taking the time to do this hellp. regards Allan stoke on Trent UK

So glad I found this series. It works! Thanks for putting it out there.

[@MingoMash]

I find it quite rhythmic; after repeating the same letter some 50+ times, it becomes easier to recognise by the overall rhythmic impression. This is an excellent teaching method!

[@larryturner8712]

Man, you have hit pay dirt w/ respect to finding a great way to teach code . 35 years ago I struggled through 5 wpm w/ a very forgiving extra class instructor. I have finally made the breakthrough between hearing the code and writing the letter w/o picturing the dits and the dahs in between .

[@M4TT4TT4CK]

and this is where my trouble starts lol

[@Positive_Pepper]

I usually repeat lessons over and over again. One time is definitely not enough for me...

thought I was chugging away pretty decent until this lesson geez

Many thanks to you ( HAM WHISPERER ) for creating the CW tutorial. An excellent guide for beginners and to those that are interested to learn Morse Code. Thanking you & 73s

[@skippickens1843]

Thanks Andy, this has been a great aid in gaining speed. Finally a course worth listening to and not touted to be the only way to learn. Keep up the good work.

[@themathanalyst5900]

Thank you for this series. This has helped organize morse in a way that is easier for me to understand. I found the first 2 lessons easy. The 3rd took a little longer and this one is my stumbling block as Sevin7000 found a year ago :) Even though they are completely "backwards" I get my K's and R's mixed up and sometimes a D or W goes where it shouldn't. This will be a lesson I review at least once a day for a few days before I move on to the next one.

[@djtezzo]

I am in the same situation :) K and R

[@themathanalyst5900]

I haven't been able to practice lately. Hope you got through the rut! :)

[@parodoxis]

R = ro-TA-tion K = KANG-a-ROO

excellent method! thanks for sharing

[@Zeitaluq]

Excellent series. Brilliant for practical learning

[@zeviter]

Thank you sooo much, this course is great, the best I could find! Enjoying it and having good progress! God bless ya!

I like the method, it works well. I find I get the rhythm better by playing at 1.25 speed. Rather than count the dots and dashes and try to refer to a mental library, I find it easier to recognise the rhythmic sound of each letter.

[@baker4life184]

this is when this shit starts to get hard

[@adrianfg3148]

I like the way you teach Morse Code.

[@greanfinisher4014]

Wow. Judging from the comments here, this lesson is suppose to be a real horror. However, if one can master lesson 2, one can conquer anything.

[@nortty.7189]

it was at this moment when he knew he screwed up

[@cfddfc4928]

Man the k and r

[@parodoxis]

half way through I started getting them both backwards. I think our brains go "hey, that's the one with three sounds and only the one in the middle is different" and pattern matching becomes our doom

[@Jake_WY7JMS]

My troubles right now too.

[@geniewaters9932]

This is the hardest one for me I've tried to learn this three times and this lesson is when I start really making more than one mistake. Haven't gotten passed it yet. Hopeful about tomorrow though.

[@geniewaters9932]

UPDATE: I FINALLY DID IT!

[@swj_69420]

Having trouble with W

[@jupiterisagasplanet3432]

To remember the difference between D and W, I know that w sounds like the beginning to number 1.

Hello, can you please just record a practice video? For us to listen and right down all...

[@nateswanton9218]

love it!

[@leecetheartist]

The first grouping after the group of 'k' words, around about 7:00 minutes in, is it "K, K, K AND K" or "K,K,K,N,K" that he is saying? Great lessons these, thank you, I would never have been able to get this far without them!

[@pocketsailor]

I hear 4 k’s I’m thinking k k k “and” k

[@AlexisKub]

Thanks this is great so far!

[@Pilot_engineer_19]

🎉 This is a pretty good course, but my only complaint is not enough practice and too many reviews so close together.

[@natashajones8841]

Hey Andy! Your HamWhisperer website expired and I was hoping you had another place to review the Random Run?

[@XxAngiEEveRxX]

your sometimes way to fast for me :(

Yes it is. But when the going gets tough ...

so -.- -.- -.- huh good to now that.

[@JaSamZaljubljen]

[@Blokksberg]

Well this is some old good shit :)

[@tonywright8294]

Why do you have to say shit ? Why are you trying to learn Morse before you can master English ?
