Dickin’ Around - Michael When you are hearing Morse code, they make the dashes 3 short dots and not just hold down the button to make a long one for some reasn
For everyone saying that it is too fast, or understandably that the dahs are too similar to the dits, they are not actually that bad, since this is slowed down. So if it is hard for you, it just means you have to practice listening to Morse code more. No worries, it was the same thing for me too, but after practicing for a bit, it becomes a bit more clear
i'm hoping this whole morse code thing will be helpful in building new neural pathways to compensate for the millions and millions of neural pathways in my brain that were destroyed, no not destroyed but obliterated after my stroke. im banking on the theory that building new neural pathways increases brain neuro plasticity which in essence, is the only way to recover lost abilities. good thing, i'm finding this antiquated and defunct form of communication extremely interesting albeit really difficult to grasp in the beginning. actually, difficult to grasp still even after a few days of practicing. but time is on my side and if there is one common theme in stroke recovery, it is that patience will have to be your main, if not your only virtue. what i will do (and not do) to rebuild and recover my lost and weakened abilities. #strokesurvivor #strokerecovery #survivorsnevergiveup #morsecode
@@limjessie3213 15 wpm is really too slow to hear the sounds. You need to hear the characters fast so when you hear ditdah you think the letter A not dit dah
For 30 long years, I was a Radio Officer on various type of cargo vessels. I liked my job very much. I mostly had Marconi sets but I got Kyoritsu Dempa, JRC, ITT and sailor communication equipments also.
Your spacing was excellent I thought you did a great job everything was 100% perfect none of your letters are run together you did a fantastic job thank you for sharing
I learned in the Army 1971 and it was 6 hours a day 5 days a week. Went to Teletype school and did the same for 5 weeks and had to type as well. When I got out in 73, they were moving to Microwave radios in lieu of SSB's. I'll bet my MOS no longer exists (05C20). It was a great experience being in HQ and knowing what was going on in the field. Note: After the threshold of 15 Words per minute, it becomes automatic. The only way I could copy was with a pencil in my hand #2soft. Made it to 21 WPM before I shipped out of RTT school to my duty base.
Thank you. I am a classically trained musician and yutuber radiopreppers said slower is not better because you have to hear the rythm of the letters but if you go too slow when you learn you never get to hear the rythm of the whole words, just each letter. Fluency will never become achievable below 15wpm.
@hrdknox2000 same here! Started a week ago with Morse Mania, I see improvements everyday, this is so rewarding. Keep a journal of your daily sessions, we tend to forget where we were a few days ago. The brain is so awesome.
"Experts" say 18 WPM minimum, and use Farnsworth method. I'd recommend 20 WPM or even higher in order to not count dits and dahs. Hope this nice series of vids generates more interest in Morse code. CW mode is the most fun I've had in ham radio. 73 ES TNX DE N6MGN
Thanks, I’ve been trying to learn Morse code, so this will be helpful. I was thinking of getting some old children’s books and typing them into a Morse code translator to play them back in order to get used to simple sentences in context, just to see if that make it easier to memorize words. Sort of like learning Morse code the same way we learn reading in primary school.
The first time I became aware of morse code, was in the film A Night To Remember and it has stuck in my mind ever since. I've always wanted to learn about MC. Great upload.
I only became a ham in 1962 so that I could join in conversations in the CW that I learned from the Boy Scout Handbook. I was always baffled by the proliferation of records and tapes, when the most basic HF receiver gives constant access to all the code practice anyone could possibly need. Although memorizing words is certainly worthwhile, such memorization would naturally result from repetitive QSOs. Anyone who aspires to CW conversations can best become competant by listening and engaging in them. Edison became one of the world's best telegraphers not by listening to recordings (since he had yet to invent the talking machine), but by sitting outside the telegraph office and writing down every character that he recognized and then duplicating them in sending.
I also learned code in about 1961. I never could read words. I had to copy with pencil. I could never copy more than 15 wpm. Seems that relearning code is a great mental excercise. I am alos convinced hearing code is related to your reading speed in general.
I would recommend trying to learn Morse characters with the Farnsworth method. Go to a website called JustLearnMorseCode and you can download a program that plays the characters are 18wpm, but the words are spaced out to match 5 or 6 wpm. This way you can learn the characters when they are played fast, but have time to "catch up" and copy the Morse. The testing will start you off with K and M, and every time you complete a 5 minute test and get a 90% or higher, add another character until you've gone through the alphabet. (This method of learning is known as the Koch method).
I'm having trouble with the dits and dashes. It's easy to tell them apart but sometimes I miss a dit from the word Edit: Starting out with 11 wpm by slowing down the video down on .75. I'll go up to 15 wpm when I master 11 wpm
15 wpm is very good to write with clear signal strength... maybe in exam i can score 100% but if it comes in 20 wpm then maybe it would be a very tough
The speed is quite dazzling, it's like 3 signs per second. At best i manage to write one dot/dash out of 3, i have no idea how do people manage to listen to this and figure out what it means in one go, takes me at least 3 tries to figure out 3 lettered word
Thank you. I am renewing my amateur licence after letting it expire in 1991. I want to be better at morse this time around. Best wishes from New Zealand.
En verdad bastante interesante, ahora que estoy comenzando a estudiar el codigo morse me parece muy buena esta idea de aprender las 100 palabras mas usadas en codigo morse. Gracias
Just started within the last 24hrs. I'm surprised I was able to recognize a chunk of these without looking but I've been practicing with short hands (LID and [HH] being the most frequent 😅 used in the mock transmissions)
I'm from India. It's 2 AM in the morning and I wake up and switch on the PC to watch some RU-vid and I apparently hear Morse Code on my Headphones, Like WTF ??? The Army ? Aliens ? I have no idea at this point.. It just won't stop.
Are you trying to remember the sequence of the word and then translate or are you trying to connect the sound directly to a letter? Question to those you learned it or who can understand a bit
So it does not make sense to memorize each letter cause you then have to unlearn hearing them and learn to hear group words like this. It you lesrn each letter then when hearing group words you keep trying to id each letter in that group no matter how hard you try not to.
Does anybody know how many hours it takes to learn MC alphabet passively? I have just started, as a challenge to myself, and using the Koch method online. Whilst I have a background in signals, we never ever used MC. It was all voice, on milspec radio. Anyone remember the dinky PRC349 or PRC320s?
Gergard, I don't know how long it takes to learn, but I can tel you how difficult it is to forget. I probably used CW (the abbreviation Hams use, short for 'Carrier Wave') over 25 years ago, and I just thought I'd try this, and I got about 70 to 80% of it right. I was very very surprised. So today I've just applied to get my lapsed amateur radio licence revalidated so I'll be a licenced Ham again soon. I made certain sounds for certain letters (I made them up myself). The only one that comes to mind right now is "QUEEN QUEEN THE QUEEN" (for Q) and thought that the letter "V" sounded like the beginning of Bethoven's 5th (V th) symphony. That kind of thing. It probably took me about six months, but can't quite remember. I used tapes, also a "Datong Morse Trainer", and a local amateur and I used to send CW on the 2m band too. Good luck. Stick at it.
The spacing between letters sound so close together, I need the letters to be spelled faster, but the spacing between letters to be slower separating the words is easy enough
I'm currently working on videos without Farnsworth spacing, but when I finish that series I'll post some that have even large Farnsworth spacing for the slower speeds.
I was a radio man in the navy 66 -69 - cw was needed for crypto transmissions- got up to 30 words per minute and use a speed key aka a bug - man I’m rusty -lol
The Morse code audio begins at the 1 minute mark ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-m6JVPQJOfrc.html But that video is superseded by ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2Krh9V-4xY0.html
I am not saying this ability will be totally useful, but who knows maybe you will need it someday look at how ignorant people are becoming, you could just hide information in Morse code and and they would not even know it.
Very nice lesson.Your morse code manipulation is perfect. i practise very often and it is not so nice. Time between the words is good.Usualy i read on 20WPM wrting on a bill. This time,on 15WPM , i do not need it . Many thanks iwe need so clear transmission to progress. F5GVH
