Morse Code Audio CD

Customer Rating:

I started with the tape version, still have it; along with all the others in the series. Yes I did pass the 5wpm test- second time around. What ever method(s) you do settle upon it is basicly a matter of practice, practice, and more practice. Condition yourself to learn these characters by SOUND only. Once you can copy by Sound- start sending practice with a hand key. I use a Speed X hand key and a T-Tone oscillator from: Morse Code Express. T-Tone oscillator produces a pleasant, authentic, pure note- much better than the usual 555 timer chip with it's distorted square wave output. Full designation is MX-T-Tone Oscillator(I think). Although I am particularily fond of the straight key do consider taking up Iambic Sending. I have found that the Iambic Sending method as described by Chuck Adams compliments and enhances my CW skills in every aspect. I am delighted with my Bencher Paddles. I use an inexpensive MFJ kit built keyer. I like things casual, my goal is 25wpm- that being the case, this keyer is fine for me. Not a huge price differential in keyers; rule of thumb is: get the best one you can find. If you find that in you copying sessions you tend to "anticipate" the next character, look into the concept of left/right brain interference(AKA: Typists Dilemma). Practice with: Call Signs, numbers, and especially random code groups wiil solve that. In your spare time, listen to code at higher speeds. Say 5-10 wpm past your base line copying speed. Just listen, don't even sweat copying. Morse Code practice sessions on the Internet come in handy here. This exercise will help your hearing mechanism discern finer and finer distinctions in sound at higher and higher speeds. This will also make your temporary base line copying speed much more solid. Keep this up incrementally untill you have achieved your ultimate speed goal. Now for a little soul searching. If I had to do it all over again would I be inclined to take the time and make the effort to learn Morse Code. The answer for me would be an emphatic- yes; and even more so now than when I first started out. Plenty of CW resources, events, clubs, projects etc. on the Internet. Best of luck on that OM.

Excellent!

I used this product to learn the code, and it worked wonders! I was preparing for my General amateur radio exam, and I turned to the ARRL for assistance in the form of this CD and booklet. It is excellently put together. They start you off slow, learning and repeating the characters until you are thoroughly familiar with the entire alphabet. They then move onto the words and phrases. By the end of the program, you are competent in morse code, and can easily decipher and send at around 5 words per minute, a good starting place. The good thing about the program is that it uses something called the Farnsworth method to teach morse code. This utilizes extra large spaces in between the individual characters, giving you ample time to decipher them. This is a great help in the learning process. Highly recommended!!!

This was a gift for my mother. She is really enjoying it. She is 86 and learning Morse Code, just for fun!

Good cd to learn code with	Customer Rating:
This CS is a no nonsense guide to learning code. It jumps right on in and starts. the narration gets to you so I would only recommend short lessons with frequency. Otherwise, you do really seem to pick up the code fairly easily.

I'm not yet done learning the morse code alphabet, but this has helped me with half of it so far. Great Value as well.
