Hey guys,

I should probably already know this but I don't. How can I copy CW? I don't know anything about it but it just intrigues me. Any hints or ideas?

Hi, Jeremy,

Tough question. The best way to learn Morse is one-on-one with a patient, competent Morse teacher. But if you don't have one available in your neighborhood, or if you can't find a local radio club that conducts code and theory classes, you're pretty much stuck with what you can find on the net.

There are a lot of Morse tutors and Morse trainer packages out there. I spot checked a few. All the ones I checked were designed to improve your speed and proficiency after you already know the code. (I didn't look at FLDIGI, that Pat recommends, though...)

Anyway, thinking of the problem of learning the sounds of the letters and numbers for the very first time, I decided to copy and paste some code out of my Audio CW Keyboard program and write you a little beginner's Morse tutor:

http://www.mindspring.com/~tom2000/FirstMorse/FirstMorse.html

The program will send letters from small groups that you select. As each letter is sent, its character will be displayed, so you get "eyes and ears" training without resorting to dot-and-dash flash cards.

The way the program works is very similar to the way I learned code, way, way back when. Except that I had a guy speaking the letters as he was sending them, and not displaying them.

(It just occurred to me that I could have made a recording of me speaking the letters and numbers, and used voice prompts rather than a character display. Oh, well, too late now. Water under the bridge.)

If FLDIGI doesn't do the job for you, give my program a try.

Good luck!

Very 73, and Happy New Year!

Tom

Thank you very much fellas. I found the "just learn morse code" program. http://www.justlearnmorsecode.com/ That seems pretty decent.
