Hello. I am french and i am learning morse code since 2 weeks. Your speed is good for me and i already can follow the conversation. Very good transmission. 73. Max
Hello Edward, Thanks for your comment, I'm so pleased to hear from you and I wish you every success in learning Morse Code. Kind Regards, Graham de G4VUX
The 8th of January, 2020 I overheard a CW QSO on 27.415 Megacycles. I am poor at receiving CW. However, I gathered the operators were from Britian and Saskatchewan, Canada. I learned Morse code when I was 14 years of age when I made two spark gap transmitters and two foxhole receivers to receive the transmissions. One radio set went to my cousin which lived seven miles away. One went to me. We tapped away for about a year and three months until my father found out who was giving the entire neighborhood Morse code lessons via their telephones, radios, televisions, and light bulbs. Well, I still remembered the code, somewhat, and was able to read the code vaguely. I always thought 27.415 Megacycles was an abandoned frequency from the old amateur radio 11 meter defunct band. Being as I am only a communications scanner owner with a rooftop antenna, I could not get involved in the CW QSO. But I never thought I would hear any transmission on 27.415 Megacycles, much less CW transmissions. I consider it a rare treat to have intercepted these clandestine transmissions. Not many know CW. I can not imagine anybody has amateur radio gear old enough to still have 11 meter band on it anymore. Evidently, there are still some amateur radio operators operating their vintage equipment on the defunct band. Needless to say, neither operator identified each other with their amateur radio callsign. I once heard USB radio traffic on 148.100 also.
Ja tez lubie cw. Odbieram do 70wpm (350 liter/min).tekstu jawnego. Nigdy nie poslugiwalem sie kluczem sztorcowym.Od razu uczylem sie kluczem elektronicznym bo nie lubilem sztorca.Mialem kolege co nadawal na sztorcu ponad 34 wpm.Tu na video kolega znakomicie nadaje na sztorcu 👍👍👍.Congrats from SP
Thanks for the nice video! As a newcomer to CW I really enjoy those. I didn't realize you had put a transcript and got about 90% head copy. I have Paul in my log but not you yet. Hope to work you soon! 73 de Zeb, HB9FXW
Hello Zeb, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed the video. I will upload some more like this as a training aid for CW improvers. I looked at your QRZ page and you have given me an idea to make a video of common abbreviations (ga, tnx, ur, fer, fb 73, .. etc) at various speeds but with long spaces between ‘words’. This makes head reading much easier and helps us to copy faster stations and make more QSOs. Most of us can copy ‘CQ Test’ and ‘599’ at 35wpm when we listen to a contest, so with practice the other common terms will be easier = 73 Graham
Such a video would be really helpful for a lot of us. I've been thinking about doing one myself, in the style of language learning vids, a vocabulary drill, with morse first then spoken translation so we could listen to it while doing something else (driving, cleaning, whatever). I've trained on my phone with IZ2UUF's software, with a list of common words and the text-to-speech feature and it helped me recognize those words. The more ways we have the better. I think it's best to train our ears with a diversity of sound qualities and media. 73 de HB9FXW
Just beginning to learn code. Tried 45 years ago. Still remember some. Seems like a long way around to not say much, however. Just want to be able to do it for when I may HAVE to do it. 73. KD7C??.
Your sending is noticeably more regular than LNA's. At least your dahs all sound the same. Still, it's only a hobby and if that's his style then all power to him I guess! ☺️
Your sending is great, that other guy though.... There is basically no space between letters.... I've been learning CW for about 3 months now, I can copy you, but G4LNA is almost not copyable.
Hi Chris, Great to hear from you. Sounds like you may be counting dits and dahs….. Reading Morse code is like recognising the introduction to your favourite songs when they come on the radio. If you listen to Morse characters over and over, you will start to recognise their ‘sounds’. For example, can you decode CQ CQ CQ on air at say 10wpm? If so, try listening during a contest and you will probably recognise the sound of CQ at 30wpm plus! Drop me a line via QRZ if you would like to follow up. Keep on keying! 73, Graham de G4VUX
Hi Graham. I can always hear 5NN, 73, qrp, CQ etc.. even at very fast speeds so something is coming in. I feel I am so close to cracking this but I guess its just practice practice practice.. Chris
Do the fast operators qso with each other or is it really a formal quick exchange of information and off to another contact? I've tried a couple of times with the fast operators and it didn't seem like they were too interested in conversing.
Hi. This video is very didactic. It indicates the data or text that a CW QSO should have between two HAM. Many thanks for sharing it. Hopefully contact one day with you.73 de Jorge LU8HRW
Hello Jorge, Thanks for your comment. I hope we meet on air sometime, meanwhile I wish you a very Happy New Year for 2018 ! 73 from the UK, Graham de G4VUX
Graham - your keying is a pleasure to copy, sounds like it was sent by machine. Looks like you two were not far separated geographically...ground wave on 80? Jerry AB3SX
Hello Jerry, Wow, thank you for your kind words. ...G4LNA and I both live in Hertfordshire UK and our villages are only about 20 miles apart but we have only had two QSOs in over 30 years! Not sure if it was ground wave or NVIS but I was very pleased to meet him on 80m that evening.
En el 8 de enero 2020, yo escuché transición de CW en la 27.415Mhz. Yo no soy operador de radioaficionado. Yo solo tengo un radio que recibe toda las frecuencias. Yo se que 27.415 es una frecuencia abandonada. Era de la banda de radioaficionado 11 metros. Pero se ve que todavía ay operadores usando equipo viejo que tiene esa banda. Yo no se el código Morse muy bien. Pero, recibe suficiente para ver que un operador era de Britian y el otro de Canadá. Nunca pensé que podía recibir algo en 27.145, mucho menos código de Morse. Pero aparece que todavia ay radioaficionados usando la frecuencia sin permiso
Hello Nesrad, Thanks for your comment. The S9 point on the K2 is half way along the green bar-graph which is reached at the start of the QSO. In practice, we don't always look at the S Meter for HF CW contacts, we are able to judge the approximate level and report accordingly. However, accurate signal reports are normally given above 30MHz where they are more important due to the higher path losses and multipath effects. Kind Regards, Graham de G4VUX
В 1555 папа Павел IV издал буллу, согласно которой евреи всех папских земель должны были селиться в раз и навсегда отведенных для этого местах, огражденных стеной, и не имели права покидать пределы гетто в ночное время и дни христианских праздников. Выходить на территорию города евреи должны были в специальных желтых шляпах. В гетто могла быть только одна синагога. Внутри поселения жизнь регулировалась раввинами. Контроль за порядком осуществляли стражники-христиане, охранявшие ворота гетто. Подобный режим существования гетто утвердился в Италии, Германии, Чехии, Польше, Литве. Крупнейшие гетто были в Риме, Венеции, Франкфурте-на-Майне и Праге.

Danke für das tolle Video.73,von Wien.Österreich.😊😊😊
Very cool and enjoyable.. this is what armature radio should be Thanks for sharing Graham.
Your CW sending is clear enough to use it as a teching tool for me. 73!
Hello Edward, Thanks for your comment, I'm so pleased to hear from you and I wish you every success in learning Morse Code. Kind Regards, Graham de G4VUX
I love CW; its a very nice Video, 73 from Germany
thanks for telling him that 73!
Very nice fist. FB!!! I could copy easily and I have difficulty copying lots of folks. Well done. 73 de N5KPD

Many thanks, I like your video very much. I also like use stright key (US Navy Fireproof CW Morse Key). Greetings from Russia. 73!
Ja tez lubie cw. Odbieram do 70wpm (350 liter/min).tekstu jawnego. Nigdy nie poslugiwalem sie kluczem sztorcowym.Od razu uczylem sie kluczem elektronicznym bo nie lubilem sztorca.Mialem kolege co nadawal na sztorcu ponad 34 wpm.Tu na video kolega znakomicie nadaje na sztorcu 👍👍👍.Congrats from SP
Thanks for sharing. It’s a great learning tool for me. I am looking for a straight key such as you are using.
extraordinario, genial, magnífico graaaaaacias ojalá algún día pueda contactar con usted en Morse. saludos desde chile

Sounds good to me! Just relax and have a few QSOs, you will quickly gain confidence and speed will follow. 73 Graham

What is 73??
AND aslo what are those letters that arent complete? A ABBREVIATIONS???
🤔
Im trying to learn MC 0
73 means "best regards," K is to show the end of a transmission
Wow I love you video remain me when I was a kid thank you
Thank you for your comment
Hi Javier, Thank you for your comment ! Best wishes, Graham, de G4VUX
Thank you for this video it is great practice for me as I struggle to learn CW! KI5AX
I am new to this hobby. May I know what is the instrument you have next to the radio. Sorry for the trouble
That is the power supply for the radio!
@@PaulTaylor1 May I know the brand?
G4LNA you are clipping your characters.
Just curious... what do you mean by "clipping characters"? TNX!
BEAUTY 100% TNX 73!!!US4ET !!!
Виктор Арзютов = Mni tnx fer ur fb comment ! Vy 73, Graham de G4VUX
I liked the longer dash at the end of each character (if it contains a dash). What speed are you both at?
More or less 15 wpm
I don't
