Wolf is absolutely correct. I taught Morse code in the Air Force for three years. We call them sound patterns. And it's not dit dah but didah, or dahdidahdit for C etc. I haven't copied Morse in over 30 years and I am sure I could wake up tomorrow and sit at a typewriter/computer and copy 25wpm. Not bragging, just a fact. Once you learn this it is similar to a different language.

This presentation is spot on. Best way I learned: 1.Started with 18 word per minute sounds for each letter and number. Forget slow 5WPM. You're better off hearing the fast sound and learning to recognize it than learning slow and trying to speed up. 2.Practice tapping code from text in magazines. 3. Download recorded conversations and transcribe them onto paper until your hand learns to immediately scribble the letter/number upon hearing the sound. At 18 WPM, there just isn't time to go through translating dit in your mind to an 'e' and then finally writing it down. It has to become an immediate reaction to the sound. I use the lower case e because it's faster than writing the capital E. Took about 6 months. Years later, I still know it. Really fun. Here's one place you can learn the pattern of the most common words at 18WPM kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5bNZnSjib55eZI

I wanted to get my Technician license just so I could build an APRS tracker for model rockets so I bought the study book, studied up and then went down one Saturday to take the test. After I passed the test, the proctor asked if I wanted to rake the exam for General. I said I hadn’t studied for it but I’d give it a shot. I didn’t pass by one question but the gauntlet had been thrown. I immediately bought the book for the General exam and began studying. After one week I was ready but the next exam was still three weeks away so I figured I’d go ahead and start studying for the Extra exam and the Morse test. I downloaded a Farnsworth program for my computer and began practicing. Sure enough, in the next three weeks I was proficient enough to pass the General, Extra, and code test in one sitting. I haven’t launched a rocket since.

There was a lot of QSB and there was a couple of stretches of about 20 minutes each that that we we had had to to use use words words twice twice. But it was solid copy all the way, and loads of fun. We would not have been able to talk more than a few minutes with USB because at times it sounded like we were keying static. I wish more folks would become proficient with cow, but there's still a lot of cow activity on the bands. I remember when it was tough finding a hole in the novice bands when I got my ticket in 76. I was a General when I went in the Coast Guard and got my extra after I got out of RM 'A' school, taking my 20 wpm test with a typewriter. I am glad to see KZbin videos that encourage learning CW as it is a very fun and reliable mode of communicating.

If anyone is thinking about upgrading, or just wants ing to learn CW, just do it. I promise you that I don't have any special abilities, but with practicing a few times per day, you'll surprise yourself with how quickly you'll get it. I learned with Gordon West cassette tapes, but there's probably better methods now, such as the site (LCWO.net) mentioned in this video.

Why did this pop up on my screen? Did KZbin somehow know I had an Extra class ticket from 4 decades ago? OK, if you're interested in CW, the key is not only practice of course, but going beyond letters to word recognition and even to partial phrase anticipation/recognition. Then you're running 30-40 wpm comfortably. Push yourself to keep up listening at rates beyond your capability. It will come, believe me. But beware, once ingrained, there is a downside: You will start to think in CW. No kidding, and there's no going back. I still find myself subconsciously tapping out my thinking while driving or watching TV. It never stops. Old time low banders I'm sure know this. OK, have fun!

At ten or eleven I was repairing shortwave radios I found thrown away in alley ways in Detroit, refurbishing them, and knew enough to set up antennas. I still didn't even know about ham radio until I was in High School. Joined the military as a communicator - STILL didn't a ham license. Finally, in 1991 I got my license. And continued on with communications with the military and Missile Defense, but STILL can't do code well. Now, I know the secret.

I bet my speed went to 10wpm in those 2 days because I actually used it to communicate. I took my general at 14 years old at the FCC office in downtown Houston where passing the 13wpm code test was a piece of cake because I was up to 35wpm. You have a lot of good info in this video, but I disagree with all these methods. The order? I sat down with the encyclopedia in 5th grade and started with the letter A and in 2 days I had all the letters learned. I used a code record album to get my speed to 7wpm so I could pass the novice test while a bit nervous.

I'm a two-finger typist, so I'd have trouble, timewise, responding to the LCWO sounds, correct? IOW, one would have to be a touch-typist to effectively use LCWO, correct?

I can't agree totally cause there are individuals that cannot distinguish a dash from a dot acoustically, so just merely by sound want work THEY NEED TO COMPARE with the chart.

Very well done vid! I've been Up/Down the CW ladder many times and about to get back on LCWO.NET for the umpteenth time. Your recommendations to NuBees is perfect. Again, Good Job...... 73 OM

How is your CW radio machine thing and key dih dah sound machine called? And what model is it and where can I buy it? And also how much time have you been doing morse code? (Sorry If I'm asking alot)

Inexpensive Morse Code straight keys with built in oscillators are available on auction sites. In the video I'm using a couple types of keys that require being connected to an electronic keyer. Just search for morse code (or CW) paddle and electronic keyer and you will find lots to choose from. I started making on-air, morse code contacts with other amateur radio operators after a couple months of practice.

Is the Vibrokeyer your favorite keyer? I see you used the iambic key like a single lever key. You used three motions to get letter K, whereas iambic keying allows that with only two. I have both iambic and single-lever keys, and I clearly prefer the Vibrokeyer. Less mistakes for me.

They need to teach this to us from our primary school, even if we don't use it it seems a quite a important language considering it might come to use some way

I’m new to Morse code and I could tell the difference. I guess I can just hear good lmao idk.

Is that CW at the start about 20-25 WPM ? I have not touched a key for 20 plus years, easily, it took a few listens to read it... I learnt code in the 1970's with an ARCHER Morse code record.. We didn't use no keyer. ex VK1DRL

The keyer was probably set around that speed. I generally set my keyer speed to what I'm comfortable receiving at the time. Sometimes my brain is working faster == more coffee, and sometimes slower == needs coffee

Thank you very much for this video, it's a breakthrough. I have been learning morse code, now day 8, and I am starting to learn the sound and rhythm using the More Mentor app, which has a similar learning method to the app you referred to. However, at 20 words P/M and Farnsworth at 20 WPM it is just a blur of sound, nothing is distinguishable from any other sound. The breakthrough here is Farnsworth set at 5 WPM and maintaining my 15 to 20 WPM (this is a caffine dependent setting) I am now learning. You are the only person to have pointed this out and it has made a massive difference as I am able to differentiate clearly between the individual letter sounds. Cheers.

I learned the code back in the early 90’s. I had a Technician Plus license which I later had to convert to a Technician license not by choice because I was really proud of that Plus on the end. I was studying for my General exam & the 13 WPM test when the FCC pulled the rug out from under my feet by scrambling everything. Unfortunately for me I was disgusted by the whole thing I never sat for the General. Now I think I might try again. Can you make a recommendation for good quality General Test Material? 73’s KC7PDY

What I did was take practice tests online until I scored 95%+ consistently. I sat for general and extra back to back and scored over 90% on both. Very economical way to go. 73 AE7MU.
