Yes, Doug, I remember doing that, thanks for reminding me, it's very good
practice.

I have always enjoyed Tony Laceys Nu-Morse Pro. It is the most
comprehensive training software that I have found. It can be found at
http://www.nu-ware.com/index.htm
Also fantastic is (if you can still find one) the AEA MM-3 Morse Machine,
which had a really cool QSO simulator. See it at
Hi - I know this is very remotely related to Elecraft, but good advice is
never in short supply in this group...
Here in Iceland the requirement for knowledge of CW is no longer required
for amateur HF licenses - a trend that we see in most countries nowadays.
Still, I am interested in

Kristen,
Take a serious look at the K7QO Code Course. Chuck is a master at high
speed CW, and his code course can be downloaded from
http://www.k7qo.net/ - these are .iso images that can be used to make
CDs for everyone in the class.
The code is learned by sound - no other method should be

I have no experience teaching Morse Code, but I did learn it very
quickly from some old US Army Signal Corps records. I have uploaded
these recordings to Internet Archive:

They are quite primitive, but maybe

First of all, I would agree with the comments from the others who have
responded to this message. Specifically, daily practice, in short sessions,
is best.

The Farnsworth method is fine for learning enough CW to pass a test,
which we don't have any longer, but the beauty of the Koch method is you
learn the characters at full speed and properly spaced. You learn two
characters to start and only start adding
Tnx Drew! That's how I learned it too, about 10 years after those recordings
were made.
It was reminiscent to hear them talk about short sounds and long sounds
and not dots or dits and dashes and dahs.

Hi,
I find that most people who already know cw forget the part where you
simply have to memorise the code. All the methods discussed so far come
after this hurdle. I found that grouping can help i.e. eish, tmo, 12345,
67890, ndb, auv, kr, qy,px.. etc. Once the code can be recalled by
I'm experienced in this, mainly as a result of going about it the
wrong way initially, and then having to re-learn it once I wanted to
do morse code.
Initially I bought the 5 wpm CD when I was first licensed in 2001. I
then went to take the test, and found out that the letters were sent

Except the program Drew, AF2Z has made available at:
Those were some great links. Thanks Drew for making those available.
I have a friend that is trying to get his speed up, I'm going to
pass it along.
