  • BOREDOM WARNING: This video contains about 15 minutes of full CW QSOs in this one, included for listening practice. I always debate including this much of the QSOs, but I think some get benefit out of it. Let me know in the comments if you like it, or if you just prefer the abridged versions with just the other stations' call signs.
    Activated W6/CT-103 a couple of weeks ago with N1CLC, and put this video together with lots of CW QSOs for your listening enjoyment. It makes for a long video, but hopefully some of you will get some benefit from the listening practice. If not, feel free to skip to the last QSO at ~24:00. Enjoy!

    The QSO's are not boring at all. listening and watching the decoding are a great help for my head copy.

    Really enjoy your videos. As someone who is learning CW right now, I actually like the full CW conversations as it shows the rhythm of a QSO, what to send and some of the acronyms that are used. You inspire me to do more videos on UA-cam...just wish there were SOTA summits closer to me and more time in the day!

    I really like the full qsos, and especially appreciate the scrolling translation at the bottom. It helps me learn.

    This is great! Thank you for taking the time to annotate this with the scrolling QSO text - I'm hearing a lot of this and picking up a lot, of the QSO (I'm still learning the code), but hearing the actual flow and how people interact in a QSO with the text to help me get it is awesome...

    Great video, I agree with the others, it not only helps us learn CW a little better, but also the cadence and format of the QSOs. Thanks and 73 KB3JC

    I for one greatly enjoyed the CW QSOs. I was encouraged by how much I was able to understand. Thanks.

    Yes an old post but just found it. I'm starting to learn CW and seeing the QSO decoded along with the received is great listening practice for me. One it's real not produced by any learning software. I get to hear the QSO language as well so the groups make sense. Thanks for sharing these experiences . Very helpful. I am visiting my daughter in Rough and Ready this June and hope to bring a small kit so I can work some contacts. If my CW is up to it may be you will hear me. Thanks for your work Greg KC1SJZ

    Operating goals. Already have my mtr3b and working up my morse to get here and above. Thanks for the not boring at all opportunity to listen to these real QSOs

    Can't get enough CW, (Morse Code for the purest) QSOs, and never boring. very inspiring. Thank you

    Here is another vote for inclusion of the contacts. I'm learning CW and the usual practice files are B-O-R-I-N-G! After a couple of minutes, my brain rebels and says "go watch cat videos" (and I hate cat videos). Listening to you actually making contacts, with the warbles and warts, is far more interesting.

    I enjoyed the video. Thank you for including the CW, it is good practice for those of us learning.

    man I should really learn morse code. Besides helping out a local amateur satellite ground station whose bread and butter is decoding CW beacons, learning morse would be really useful for when I want to get into portable HF ops
