Hi Sandy, This video is excellent and clearly demonstrates the pit falls to look out for. This is something which needs to be constantly hammered home. Thanks, Sandy for this. It is excellent and of great value to everyone and indeed to people learning morse code sending. Your demonstration makes great sense and just closing my eyes and listening I can detect the difference between good and bad sending. Sandy, Best wishes and thanks again,.Aidan Ei7jc.
I like how you put this together to understand how the sending should be. I am a beginner and still trying to get the hang of it. Still learning as we have a morse practice session every Thursdays. Thanks.
learned more here in 8:54 mins than I have since i was a little kid. One day, I will send a short PM and tell you the story of why my desire to learn , which you have revived, has cropped up so strong. Your practice sentence brings back so many fond memeories
Hi Stan, Learning code is a very personal thing. SOme of us take to it with ease and others really struggle but one thing is key. You must have the desire to learn as with that you will enjoy it and progress will be much faster. These days with the computer there are so many programs to help the beginner. When I learned we didn't have any of this. I used to tape record my self sending Morse code then play the tapes back and see if I could read any of it.
@reese1011 Hi Gerald, It's always nice to receive positive comments and to know that some of my videos are of some use to others. Thankyou Gerald 73 Sandy Sandy
Thanks Colin, You will here me on every Monday and Wednesday at 19:30 on 3.536 running QRQ (50/60 wpm)with G4fad. If you want to Break us we will qrs for a slower speed contact. Sandy
Good video. I'm learning code and it's always great to see these tips. I'm not rushing to learn too fast so it's probably taking me longer than it has to, but I want it to stick.
@SkylaneCaptain Thanks for the comment Brian,If I can be of any assistance to you whilst you learn CW please let me know. Happy landings and a Merry Christmas. Sandy
@K7AGE Hi Randy, Thanks for the comment.We should all strive to make our Morse as readable as possible. You have a great TH-cam channel Randy. 73 Sandy
@EI7JC Hi Aidan, Thankyou for the positive comments.If my video's will help others then I can ask no more!Hope we can meet on the bands soon Aidan. 73 Sandy
@reese1011 Hi Kenneth, The bug is "probably"my favourite key because it requires definite physical input.You can slap it around the bench.It gives far more feedback than a paddle and you are not stuck to the rigid clinical confines of the paddle/keyer combo.Some people like "Vanilla Morse"But it's great to have the freedom of sending with a bug and developing a bit of style,tho always STRIVE to keep it readable! I try to maintain the 3:1 ratio but occasionally a longer dash here or there 73 S
correct, "accuracy transcends speed" in sending morse code. spacing is critical. as a drummer i feel i am at an advantage, but it's still something i am conscious of and work on. 73 de N5XTC
I'd like to have a crack at learning Morse Code, but need to start from scratch. There's a lot of information out there on the net and you tube, but a lot of it contradicts. Perhaps you could do something to get absolute beginners started?
thanks Sandy that was probably the best 8minuets Morse instruction iv seen so far I am just starting to put more time into it now so hopefully might start getting somewhere with it thanks 73 2E0SDF
Thanks for this ! I've been working on my CW for a few months now, and I've found that if I feed my CW into a little arduino decoder that I have, it will tell me when characters are run together as a mistake as you demonstrate. Nevertheless, as a beginner, I have heard a lot of code as you say, and in particular, words without spaces, which means that I can only figure out what was sent by inserting the spaces into my hand-copied code ...
Sandy I have a vibroplex blue racer and a question for you.That blue racer isnt easy to master but will send a masterful cw note pleasing to the ear And easily reconized if properly used and tuned.I know a vibroplex is your favorite key.Will you tell us why? 73,s KC4ETW Kenneth USA Charleston S.C
@vagnerfischer Happy new year Vagner,I have read your profile on qrz.com.Don't worry your sending and rxing skills will improve with exposure to morse.I learned to head copy when my pen stopped working.Also spend as much time as you can just listening.That is the fastest way to increase your CW speed.Also I thing reading the printed word helps too! Hope to qso with you oneday. 73 Sandy
@fasthandslow Hello Fast, I'm not sure I'm the best just yet!I still meet the odd op from time to time who is just that bit better than me.But these ops are becoming fewer!Ha hah. Merry Christmas my friend . 73 de Sandy
thanks for the video. i'm currently learning cw and when i listen on the bands its sometimes very hard to tell what has been sent. i thought it's because i have no experience but it's also because of the bad timing of some ops. 73 Holger
If we could all use the same exercises, As in, The black polar bear jumps over the blue rabbit, Back - wards or forwards, Its only an exorcise. The quick red fox jumps over the lazy brown dog. Spy Talke. Over and Out.
My comment may not be relevant to Mores code. The quick red fox jumps over the lazy brown dog, A rime used by trainees in touch Typing, It uses all the letters in the alphabet I wish I had paid more attention to mores code when I was in the boy scouts. The scout master was very enthusiastic on mores code and semaphore, I concentrated on net making, And mending. I went trawler fishing on 750 tone boats, My second trip, I made second mate. On the Sletbaker, Out of Iceland. Over & Out.
Wiltshire Man, On the British trawlers they had radio operators, I took a very unpleasant trip too the vaccinate of Bear island, Which is on the other side of Hell, The radio operator was excused from the bridge, He said he was kicked off the bridge. We were on communication lock-Down. The boat, Out of the Lord line, In Hull, I died on the return journey, But was resurrected when we reached the Humber, No thanks to mad cpt Jack Ahab, The 2nd mate said a few times, He is trying to put this boat on the bottom.
This is one of the best videos on spacing I have seen. Thank you.
Your welcome. Thanks

Exellent video and as usual with Sandys videos I learn volumes from it.Thank you Sandy for taking the time to demonstrate.
Thank you, sir. I hope more people get to see your content.
Thanks Raphiel that would be nice:)

Do you live in Paris ? No, I live in London.
Sounds like one of those WW2 spy phrases.....
thanks for explaining the basics of Morse. Randy

Hi John, Goodluck with your Morse code journey. It is a wonderful means of communicating. It is the only mode I use.

No doubt there would have been a radio operator aboard your trawler. I know of a few R/O's that worked on trawlers. Some saw very rough seas.

Equally annoying is when 'R R' is sent as 'EN EN'. I refuse to answer a bad fist. Tnx for all the fb vids om!
