Learning is challenging and I wish I could space out the letters so apparently it’s easy to learn how to fast speed rate or words per minute rate like 15 to 20 but unless you have time in between the letters, I’m usually dropping the rate down to 25%, which is about five words a minute, so I’m getting it all of itbut I think it might be dwarfing the ability to learn so I guess fast rate with more time in between letters would be a really functional learning tool. I just have to learn how to finagle that in another tool. Thanks for putting these putting these out thanks for putting these.
I haven't done cw in a while since my Icom 756 Pro-3 has a problem that I've yet been able to figure out. I'm surprised that I was able to get 95%+ copy. Thanks for posting this
In the past 100 years the primary use for Morse Code has been for radio communications employing Continuous Wave (CW). CW uses between 100Hz and 150Hz of bandwidth compared to 2400Hz - 3000Hz used by phone modes. That makes it about 20 times more efficient, or put another way, your signal to noise is improved by a factor of 20 over phone. It's also easier to copy (interpret) a CW signal down in the noise than a spoken voice. A 5 watt CW station can run off of AA batteries or a small solar panel and communicate locally, say across the county coordinating emergency services via ground wave, or to other continents for message exchange. QRP radios operating CW are the ultimate fallback mode for emergency communication. But the real reason to learn Morse code is that it's fun and unique.
@@goodnewsfromgod-bybob5710 When I was in Naval Security Group (NSG, 1957-1963) we intercepted morse messages from the Russian and Chinese Navy and all the middle eastern countries. At that time, I could copy morse code at 77 wpm. Russians had some very good radio operators and could send very fast. I am 82 years old today and have problems copying at 30 wpm. My dear old mother-in-law use to tell me "it is hell to get old." I would kid her, and she would come back and tell me "Just wait, you will be there some day." Sure enough, she was right. LOL Bob, I like "Good News from God." The Lord is good news.
Thanks very much for doing these videos. I been practicing with them
Great series to practice code! Please do more - different speeds and material. Will get more folks interested in the hobby... 🙂👍
Thank you for this video!
You are so welcome!
I'm very happy to get this video. thank you
You are welcome
Excellent.. Many thanks..G4EIJ...UK

Good!!!

Semicolon? Really? I didn't know that one! HiHi. Perfect Morse, by the way......
Me gusta practicar, soy radioaficionado
I can get about 1% of this just starting out, I’ll come back and have 80% in 3 weeks hopefully 😼
Keep at it and you'll get there
What's the application of this?

Eh...I just started....too fast
