Maybe to add to this the moste basic rules of using morse code: Make a short pause between letters (people often forget this when doing SOS, it is "... --- ..." and not "...---..."), and a longer pause between words. To undo the last word after you made a mistake (kind of a backspace), use eight dots (........). If you forget the pauses, the receiver will have a hard time figuring out where new letters or new words start.
You just taught me how to learn morse code by writing all the alphabet letters, their codes and use the codes in a sample sentence. Thank you for this.
This method works best for "written" Morse (aka Continuous Wave/CW for short) where you can copy slower, vs _hearing_ or seeing CW which happens a _LOT_ faster! This method focuses your mind on the written/visual aspect, and more on counting individual dits and dahs of CW "dit..." "dah..." "dit..." vs hearing _whole letters_ as one musical sound, like "di-dah-dit" (R) needed for faster copying... That only happens by _hearing_ whole letters.
Thank you SO much for this! I've wanted to learn Morse code, and as I just acquired my Amateur Extra ham radio license I figured I would give it a go, but I dreaded the process. An hour after watching your video, having never previously used Morse code, I have most of the alphabet down and am tapping out sentences (albeit slowly). GREAT method, I'm going to recommend this to everyone I can!
This is a nice strategy for memorizing the codes, amongst others. When I did my license, the school had another very nice method for quickly memorizing codes. However, learning morse is not about being able to just memorize the codes. It is about using them fast and without thinking. For this, you'll need many hours of practice, both sending and receiving morse codes. There's no way around it. How much time did you need in school not only to memorize the letters of the alphabet, but to fluently read and write? Another example: How difficult is it to memorize all the notes of a scale and the correspondig key on a piano? Can be done in 5 minutes. But how long does it take to actually play the piano from the music sheet, in a way that people would be willing to listen without being paid for it?
@@kermitthefrog4830 Not doing it by the common alphabet. We learned groups of related letters/digits. This way you don't have to remember the according morse codes at all. Just remember the groups. For example, how hard is it to remember "EISH5"? . E .. I ... S .... H ..... 5 Or "TMOCH0": - T -- M --- O (the letter "o") ---- CH ----- 0 (zero) Or another example: "AUV4" .- A ..- U ...- V ....- 4 The same way you remember "NDB6" and so on. It's quite easy to do. I did the course more than 30 years ago, and after making the license never used it again. And I remember the groups until today.
it’s weird how it’s like the edge of the musical rhythm, memorize the rhythms become a new kind of musical word machine man. it’s just amazing thinking of when they tell us about Morse code in elementary school and they don’t relate it to a musical rhythm and so the idea that a human could do it is just impossible and you just think it must be the most tedious thing that could ever be when it just aint so
Thank you so much dude As a normal weird person i like learning about weird and (kinda) useless stuff Like solving a rubiks cube and ofc now morse code Again thank you so much
Ayyy I'm here for a rewatch! Ugh the host, the editing, the soundtrack... This video is immaculate! Fun fact this is the technique contestants use in number memorization competitions!
holy crap. it took me 20 minutes but now i can recite the morse code alphabet out loud and also can write full sentences and annoy my friends. - .... .- -. -.- / -.- - - - - ..-
Wow! that was soo easy to learn, I exually started with the three diagram video which I didn't even finish because I was soo confused. So thanks a lot man, you really helped me🙏
Mnemonic, from Greek word mnimi ( μνήμη) which means the human procedure to remember the experience, knowledge, all the good and bad things happened to us in the past.
I have a friend in my coding class and he self harms, he got checked out and hasn’t showed up to school lately. He doesn’t like talking around people about it, he talks about it with me tho- we can’t go anywhere private tho or pass notes so I’m gonna learn Morde code to ask if he’s ok- thank you
I am from Sri Lanka.. 🇱🇰 This is very important for us to find the secret codes given by Charitha Attalage who is a great artist who mixes music with our future technology... 🔥❤🇱🇰
This is very cool. Reminds me of "Word Association" that my mom tried to teach me when I was a kid. I'll never forget the capitol of Kansas because she would stick her big toe in my face, so I wouldn't forget it on the test at school :-) Great video.
You don't have the time to think about these words while receiving. One must get the rhytm. Like learning a new language. The LA1HHA way of writing down while listening is way better!
Best video, it's useful. Thanks for uploading such nice and understandable video 🙏. Can you please make a video of how to write a sentence using Morse. code
This is awesome. btw, pronouncing mnemonic is easy, you simply ignore the leading m entirely, which isn't at all obvious without any context but that's just the way it is.
