- Do you have any requests for CW listening practice? I'm making a series to help folks learn - leave your requests in the comments below!

This video will help you practice hearing
common abbreviations and phrases used for
Summits on the Air (SOTA) activations
.
Each word or abbreviation will be introduced,
repeated three times, and then used in a sentence

Remember the first day I Saw this video, now after a 1.5 weeks of practicing I can identify more prosigns, you have a good punctuation. 73s
I’m currently just beginning to learn Morse. This is a great video. Subscribed
Same here :) Good luck! 73 de M0SNR
Your video is good for learing more practiclly since the sound of messages are actually using for morse communication.
Nice presentation. Clear CW audio, combined with very clear voice with perfect enunciation. And of course, steady fist.
The repetitions are an essential component to reinforce learning.
Thanks for the time and effort you have invested for teaching us.
Awesome. I didn't know they made an alternative tap device like that (not that I know Morse code at all, but it's still good to know the options available). 💚
Loving these practice videos as a cw newbie! Very helpful!
Are there topics or practice types I haven’t made? Brainstorming what to do next :)
Mark, thank you a lot! Very useful! It really helps not only to learn separate abbreviations, but to see how they become used in form of a sentence. I would love to see something similar on prosigns and q-codes. 73 de R2ARM!
Great video. Thank you. 🤝
Nice! I'd like to learn morse someday :D
You can do it! There are lots of ways to go about learning Morse code. The two methods I'd recommend the most would be either the Long Island CW club, or CWOps CW Academy. As you're in Poland, you'd probably find the Long Island CW Club's schedule easier to work with since we have classes at all sorts of hours during the day.
very good!!
great video congratulations 73 from kb2uew
Mark, thanks for the video. Hope to run across you on air sometime. I’ve been hunting POTA lately while I learn CW. Couple months in on my learning journey. Slowly getting there.
Hunting POTA is a great way to learn, and welcome to the CW community! Do you have anything in particular you'd like to see for future videos?
I know there are several around already but maybe a video of setting up and gear you’re hauling with you on the SOTA. I plan on activating some parks and summits this year as long as I can get better at CW. Probably will bring a SSB rig as well just in case I choke on the cw side. lol.
Sounds like fun - I'll include that next time I do a summit video. I've got a whole IKEA bin worth of radio kit - pretty much every summit I use a different combination tailored to the specific summit plan. @@bentrotor4917
I just watched another one where you activated two summits and showed some of your gear. Nice, envious of the KX2 for sure
I’m new to CW and I am slower than you are sending so I wouldn’t answer you out of intimidation. I answer cq’s that are around my speed of 12 WPM. In conversations with other hams they say the same. You are fast and obviously very good. I wonder if you sent slower you would have more QSO’s? Thanks for the video
Welcome to our CW community! It’s always super exciting to hear a new fist on the air. Please hunt me down if you see a spot - and no matter what speed I’m attempting (😂) to send, I’m always happy to slow down to the chaser’s speed! If it’s still hard to copy, just send a few QRS (please send slower), and it’ll happen. Looking forward to a QSO with you!
Great reading and watching on the CW series. Might be a fun way to learn more about how experienced ops handle a diversity of experience levels: qrper.com/2024/07/one-cw-question-series-draws-to-a-close-after-6-months/
Is your letter spacing standard? I train on LCTWO at 20wpm with a 12wpm spacing, I plan on going to 20wpm straight progressively when I have all the letters down, but I was trying to just listen and it sounds like all the letters are merged together haha I would defo send a couple of QRS to that :D Thanks for the video!
oh and just regarding the language comparison... I don't think it's a correct comparison. It's more like learning music than learning a language IMO. I speak 6 languages, and in all of them, understanding was waaaaay easier than speaking. Morse code is the other way around I feel, I can code anything without thinking about it too much but understanding requires so much more practice. Or maybe it's just me lol
I'm using a keyer, but the spacing is coming from what sounds 'right' in my head. The keyer is set at 20 WPM, but I can't promise my spacing is perfect. If you want to hear 'ideal' code, I'd recommend using the Long Island CW Club's practice page - longislandcw.github.io/morsebrowser/. You can experiment with setting both the WPM and spacing independently. Also, Long Island CW Club instructors are great! If you're serious about learning & improving, then I'd encourage you to join the club :)
p.s. Will always QRS when asked! Looking forward to catching you on air.
599 = 5NN?
You got it! This is a common example of a “cut number” where a shorter symbol is swapped in to represent the full number. Saves time - you’ll hear 55N and 5NN all the time for your RST.
@@SOTA-plus Thank you.
Great presentation! TU es 73 AA4K
