How I mastered Morse Code
The goal is instant recognition. You will need deliberate practice to achieve this. There is no secret sauce except your time and effort.
QSO stands for "contact" in amateur radio lingo, and there are many variations of a QSO depending on the type of radio communication you're engaging in and your region of the world.
We'll focus on a basic structure in this video. I'll also display the abbreviations, Q-signals, and prosigns commonly used in a QSO exchange as a quick reference.
Even if you're new to QSOs, you can glean how a QSO is set up by watching this video. The video shows two fictitious hams exchanging call signs, signal reports, and other pertinent information. It also touches on how to wrap up the conversation and say goodbye.
By following this basic structure and using the appropriate abbreviations, Q-signals, and prosigns, you can have an efficient and effective QSO with other amateur radio operators. And even if you're not an experienced operator, this video will give you a good starting point.
20 WPM with 15 WPM Character Spacing: The letters will be highlighted simultaneously with the sound of each letter.
I encoded the text with the Morse-it app to create the scrolling morse code.

When I hadn’t heard anything by Monday lunchtime I rang the factory just as Bruna emailed me back!. She was lovely, explained the holiday weekend etc and finalised my order over the phone (I’m in Ireland).. The key should be here in a few days, can’t wait. And just to reiterate, Bruna was a joy to chat to & made me feel like I’m a very special customer.
