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

some years ago I tried to learn Morse Code but gave it up; however, I'm fascinated with CW so a few weeks ago I decided to would give it another try. Frustrated with the higher speed I decided to download an APP to my phone, (CW Morse code) again not getting anywhere I decided to just listen to the sound of characters, spaces, and words at higher speed untell I got it. your idea of higher character speed and slower spacing between words is brilliant. Thank you.

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.

Worked my way up to a General Class back in 1993 when a 13 wpm CW exam was required. Got lazy on SSB Phone and eventually left the hobby for nearly eight years. I am back as of 2018 and plan to make CW my primary mode of operation as CW is what attracted me to HAM radio in the first place. I find your videos intriguing and see now why I held myself back to 13 wpm years ago. I plan to become proficient at 20+ wpm and your videos are very helpful!

I do appreciate your thorough and knowledgeable video. However, my I suggest that you lengthen your audible dahs. In your examples I find them to be rather on the short side and almost being as short as a dit. Remember that your dahs should be about 3x the lengthy of a sit. Often times I found myself thanking that you were sending the letter a but it sounded like the letter I, as an example.

I had a 5-1/2 hour so on 20 meters with an LU8 station a couple months ago on 20 meters. 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.

I got my ticket in (1989), and that's when there was a 5 wpm requirement. I was ready for my exam in probably about (2) weeks. 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.

Farnsworth: Sending characters at 20wpm, but spacing them at 10wpm. It's easier to close the gap on the spacing while hearing the characters at sound patterns at any pitch, rather than stretching the individual characters. I.e. "Hello...how...are...you...?" vs. "H e l l o h o w a r e y o u ?"

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!

If only 50 plus years ago I knew "don't count dots and dashes".... LOL I'm an Extra Class ticket holder and I still suck at code. Because I memorized a chart long before I ever heard CW on a radio. 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. So for the guys and girls thinking it's a "parlor trick" or "joke" or "I can text someone"..... remember, CW is faster, if you know how to do it ;)

Cool. You can send and receive with a Technicians license but the band limitations really limit you. You shouldn't have any trouble passing the General if you haven't already.

8:52 - That's fast, but I still hear the number of dits as 3 (S), then 4 (H). Anyone else who counts the dits at 20? At least I don't keep that visual chart mentioned at 5:34!

7:59 Like you said I found myself counting the sounds and referring to the chart.. I can't RIP the chart up because I have the Phonetic Alphabet next to it and it's laminated but I will learn the way you're suggesting because that makes more sense than trying referring to a chart. Using the chart is kinda fun for a beginner like me though who just wants to interpret it.

hmmm, you'll never increase your speed? I learned slow, at 5 wpm, to pass my novice license. My ticket came in the mail and at 13 yrs old I stayed up till 3am Saturday and Sunday operating all night the first weekend. 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.

Hello :) Friedrich Clemens Gerke developed the code we use now ! Which is called ! International Morse code The original Telegraph type code was a wee bit different ! After a operator learns his ABC`s He should copy copy and copy some more ! The ARRL has code files ! Search ARRL code files Takes a bit of effort to learn to copy at 20 words per minute or so ! Not what I would say is hard ! Just takes time and mental effort ! If a person does not expend the effort he will never learn ! That is just the way it is ! Everything worth learning takes effort ! Radio Telegraphy Morse code sent and received via radio ! Is mainly but a hobby now ! But still a lot of fun ! I I personally build simple qrp transceivers and have a good bit of fun working cw ! 73

Awesome - subbed! I'm "sold" on giving this a shot. So which key (mfr & model & source) do you recommend? Thank you!

@HamRadioQRP Жыл бұрын
You can start with just about any straight key with an oscillator. If you're handy building kits then qrpguys.com has one. I have another video that shows one that I just built from a diagram that works well. Or if you already have a ham radio you can just plug in and practice by having the RF output set to zero.

A little rusty but it's still there. about 1979 when I got into it. 13 WPM was what I needed to get general, then went to advanced class. I gained success when I went with what u say, got some cassette tapes with code sent at 20 WPM with wide letter spacing. Then speed comes easier. N4ISF. Some of the old guys learned it to over 60 WPM. That's fast, like listening to someone talking.

Yes. I top out in the mid 30wpm range at present but if I'm relaxed and can sometimes copy faster.

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.

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.

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
