OLD TIMERS' MORSE CODE PRACTICE

Ron, John and Lynn practicing CW (Continuous Wave) Morse code communications on the 80m ham band. An audio demonstration of both an internal INRAD 400 Hz I.F. filter and external Hi-Per-Mite CW audio filter is included in this recording. Both filters are fine for CW, and the excellent Hi-Per-Mite CW audio filter was designed by David Cripe, NM0S, and is sold by the Four State QRP Group. The ICOM IC-718 audio is recorded using an RCA pocket voice recorder. Morse code practice hint for listening to CW videos on KZbin: If they are a little too fast, use the settings tool in the task bar to slow the playback speed, for example using the 0.5 setting to change a 20-wpm transmission to a 10-wpm transmission. And you can use the technique in reverse, if you would like to listen to a transmission at a faster speed, then use a ratio greater than 1.0. 73 NG9D

What a nice n clear cut keying, easy to read...😂 been from 1979 to 1997 as active seagoing telegraphist hearing this made me swaying .... Big Thanks ❤

Beautiful code, easy copy!

Nice! Been a ham since 1962, but inactive the last 40 years. This is a speed I can still handle, and I need to warm up. SSB scares me a little, and I could get out better on CW anyway. Tnx frm LA0CY!

FWIW: Having never attempted to learn Morse code, the biggest problem I have is audibly differentiating the dots from the dashes.

I like morse code but it won't work with a continuous wave as it has to be broken up into dots and dashes.
