Thanks for this great video. I can RX CW by ear alright, but my sending sucked. I got a keyer and started playing with this software a few nights ago. I do a bit every night and am already seeing results. Super frustrating when you make a mistake but heaps of fun and very reewarding when you get it right.
Thanks for sharing. I did try the Iambic master and found it difficult to get the spacing just right. That said I noticed that even after a few attempts that I was learning to send better cw. I will keep working at it. I am no where close to you but it is a very fun challenge. Thanks for sharing this video, great job! - Tnx, WM5F
Thanks for the very nice comment. I am not perfect at CW, I have a hard time having a QSO that's off the script. I find it hard to think of letters and tranlate them into CW on the fly
The hard part, if you are still...not that good with code like me, is that you are sending at 21wpm (in this video), so even though you can see what to send, you don't have time to think about the character, or there will be a space and you'll have to restart, so this is great to learn how to send the characters and...somewhat learn the sound as well....now I want!
This is rigorous. I almost wish there was a setting to be a little less rigourous. Think of the possibilities that a CW game could have? I learned to type from this program that would have letters falling from the top of the screen, you would have to type them before they hit the bottom and they got faster and faster. I got really good at typing that way.
The coolest CW game I’ve run across has been out there a couple of decades and is less than one megabyte. It’s free as well. It’s called ‘Morse runner’. Here’s a link: www.dxatlas.com/morserunner/ It’s like you’re either in a Contest or your the DX. It seems so real! All keyboard tho.

Cool video. Have you seen the DX Engineering PaddlePads ? That might help keep your key from sliding.
I'll look that up thank you.
Very cool, would love to see a Mac version.
I think it's cool. It is like a game for HAMs. Wouldn't it be easier to practice it in a slower speed?
Yes, but I want to get through it quicker. I kind of like to zip along at a good clip.

Nice and useful tool
Hey Tom, I got to have this software. Can you post a link? Good video!
Ok, I put a link in the description. Good luck!
Where do I find that software?
I just put a link in the description.
Great video 😀 Vy73 from HB9CSA
Thanks HB9CSA
Outstanding good to have a good fist. Just have to know cw first
Thanks Paul.
Goes to show daily practice is mandatory... One can't get away with it, I thought I was the only one needing practice. Lol
Absolutely. I get rusty if I don't do anything for a few weeks.
