As a new guy, I appreciate the encouragement to get on there. And I really appreciate those who are willing to slow down and interact. I know that is something I will do as I get better.
The short reason is, the average human being of average intelligence must learn in steps. So what you are asking is, why not learn words first, skip learning individual characters, go straight to words. lol, you would still have to learn letters, numbers, etc, etc. you would never learn random things like call signs. I dont know why no one replied to you, as there are almost 3,500 views.
I'm so in the "repeat the code in your head phase" so thanks for mentioning that, Glenn. It's reassuring to know it's a common problem. I'm simply trying to visualize the character immediately after hearing the code. It seems writing or typing the code might help, but I don't want to get away from head copy. But my brain I think is subconsciously afraid of missing the code so it goes on "record" mode.
The more you hear the characters, the more familiar you're going to be with them. Every new language is about recognition, which is gained/improved with familiarity. Familiarity can be improved by time spent hearing them. Or, you get out of it what you put in to it. I don't have to think about what I just heard you say, because I've heard others saying the same words you're using so many times that I recognize the words instantly. Yes. I graduated from the School of Redundancy School.
for 'internet issues' turn off the fan in the background. that makes the video call software think it needs to capture all the action and uses more bandwidth. So stop anything fast moving in the background and you'll find your bandwidth requirements go way down
@@KC2BKM It's pretty laid back and easy. You can go to any class you want, at any time you want. There's no timeframe you need to go by. You learn at your own pace
@@EvanK2EJT ya I was about to sign up again yesterday but balked. I need to look and see what’s available and when I can get my butt up for a couple hrs to jump into a class. I gotta get zoom going.
This is my third video that I've watched with Glenn. The core sounds amazing! I hope to get to take it eventually. I've already started trying to guess what you learn in the course and try to change how I practice 😂 I suspect that the real time in person aspect is probably really important to keeping it fun. Otherwise, I wish it was available in video form. The only thing holding me back is being able to commit to dedicated time slots. My wife is learning also
Interesting typo in the video-still 😂 You should keep that one Kyle "Roun" Etymology 1 From Middle English roun, from Old English rūn, from Proto-Germanic *rūnō; more at round. Doublet of rune and round. Noun roun (plural rouns) (obsolete) A secret or mystery. (obsolete) A mysterious or sacred writing, rune. (obsolete) A rumour, speech, advice. (obsolete) A whisper.
Why not word recognition instead of character recognition. The same way we learn words in spoken language. I’m going to start learning CW and don’t think dits and dahs are the way to go.
The short answer. Hams are humans of average human intelligence. Also it is the natural progression and its just not and my guess can not be done that way. (just making a joke, not criticizing by using this analogy) I'd bet even Einstein learn his ABC's first before he discovered the theory or relativity. You would still have to learn letters, as call signs are random combinations of characters, as are towns / cities etc.
Be On The Air. Most important advise on this video.
Most important!

Me too. I've never been someone who can remember the first letter of someone's call if I don't repeat it.
Awesome video...very informative and lots to think abouit!! Please keep it coming!
Great Presentation.
Thanks
Thanks for the fine presentation.
Glad it was helpful!

I took Glenn's class. Definitely worth the time.
Awesome
24:00 Spot on!
Yes!
Another awesome episode!
Thanks!
Great video topic, guys!!
Thanks so much!

Very Interesting sadly I work graveyard shift an I operate 180 degrees out from the rest of the world. I gotta figure this out on my own.
Yeah I bet that is hard. Practice!
What hours/days do you work? I'm willing to bet we have classes at LICW that will fit your schedule.

But thanks for reaching out and the invite. Enjoy your video and your contributions to the roundtable

I was deep in thought.... Lol
Can I learn this from the get go? I’m just starting…
You can join long Island cw club to start learning!
