- The goal is instant recognition. You will need deliberate practice to achieve this. There is no secret sauce except your time and effort.
QSO stands for "contact" in amateur radio lingo, and there are many variations of a QSO depending on the type of radio communication you're engaging in and your region of the world.
We'll focus on a basic structure in this video. I'll also display the abbreviations, Q-signals, and prosigns commonly used in a QSO exchange as a quick reference.
Even if you're new to QSOs, you can glean how a QSO is set up by watching this video. The video shows two fictitious hams exchanging call signs, signal reports, and other pertinent information. It also touches on how to wrap up the conversation and say goodbye.
By following this basic structure and using the appropriate abbreviations, Q-signals, and prosigns, you can have an efficient and effective QSO with other amateur radio operators. And even if you're not an experienced operator, this video will give you a good starting point.
20 WPM with 15 WPM Character Spacing: The letters will be highlighted simultaneously with the sound of each letter.
I encoded the text with the Morse-it app to create the scrolling morse code.

Thank you so much for taking the time to highlight all of these, this is so incredibly helpful forgetting the rhythm down and visually understanding it... its one thing to memorize them all, its another to recall them so damn quick. So much muscle memory, it kind of seems like a meditation in a way, or being in "the zone".
Great video! I truthly learned cw like this too. In my qrz bio there's a link to an web app I made to help myself and I also made a study guide (as video, here in yt). The app does exactly what you say. I first learned cw back in 2000, but the wrong way. At the time I did many DX in CW but they were painful since I was reading it the wrong way. Now it's much better, I hear the whole word and only write down places of information. My vocabulary is far from ideal but it fits my purpose (DX) and it's slowly growing.
Sharing your video, 73!
Hi André! I just bookmarked your web app. It's fantastic! Yeah, I'm like you, I learned morse code the wrong way the first time and had a hard time getting rid of bad habits until I started learning with the method described in my video. I'm also at the level of decoding some whole words now as well. I keep practicing daily and try to keep it fun. As always, thank you and 73!
I learned at Radioman A school at USCG tracen in Petaluma, Ca. They started us out with flash cards. It seems like it was in another life to me now. I believe it was 1978 or '79. Those were days of grace for sure.
You were lucky to have lived in the best of times and now you have wonderful memories. Sounds like fun times! They don't have schools like that anymore.
Excellent! The book “The CW Way of Life: Learning, Living, and Loving Morse Code (in a Digital World)” by Chris Rutkowski, validates the technique you share here. Highly recommended reading.
Putting it on my reading list after checking it out on Amazon. Thank you for the recommendation!
Жду еще! Очень хорошо!!
What a godsend!
Блестяще!!!
Спасибо
Did this guy make a few videos and then just disappear from existence?
I have 1 question: If someone use cw a few years, so automatic read txt in mind just like words in talk? For example have a phones in ear and walk and can understand comunication or transmit txt key?
I started learning Morse code 3 years ago. First, I learned to recognize and master each character. With consistent practice, I gradually heard words instead of individual characters. I made it a habit to practice listening and sending every day. When I hear Morse code, I don't see text and convert it to letters/words. Instead, I hear Morse code and automatically understand the letters/words/phrases/sentences. It is like automatic language to me. This was my progression, and it may be different for others.
@@themarconian Great!
Good video but I can't see the transcript.
How do you guys describe negative wx Celcius temperature in cw?
This is a great question. I have used the hyphen or minus for CW but prefer to send shortened negative as NEG in CW.
@@themarconian tu and 73
I agree with The Marconian. Neg 3C is a perfect way to say -3C. In RF Engineering, we often talk about receive levels using neg, i.e a -48dBm receive level would be spoken as "Neg 48 dBm".
Thanks. I learned some new abbreviations - FRM, SLD, CLDY, and RPT. I'll have to remember to use those on my next QSO! DE K7RLN
