#morsecode

I'm trying to learn #morsecode with LCWO. My #ADHD loves to throw hard timeouts in under 1 minute time intervals. So I can lose my spot even with the shortest test. I'm sure as I get better my endurance will improve. I end up having to hit refresh and starting over along with taking frequent breaks, but I am making slow progress learning the code. I am writing a journal about the process to keep myself accountable. Did anyone else here have to fight hard uphill to learn CW for any reason?

#ADHD .. hard timeouts in .. 1 min intervals. .. lose spot .. start over .. frequent breaks

w/ya - exercises 1m long, .. I'm still thinking while three go by.

When I slow down to 20WPM characters at 7WPM Farnsworth I copy 100%

At 10-12 Farnworth the blank outs appear, and I miss the rest of a group/word.

Really hoping lots of practice will overcome the blank outs.

(Was at 13WPM solid 50 years ago)

The way our brains are wired, there is a difference how one decodes #MorseCode (at Farnsworth speeds) below 10 wpm and above 10 wpm. Briefly: Thinking vs. subconscious. If you aim for above 10 wpm speeds, thinking is the wrong approach for you and I strongly recommend NOT practicing it thoroughly. Instead, pick up Morse at true 12 wpm. This is the essence of the Koch method. I documented it in one section of a software project's README https://gitlab.com/4ham/koch-method-real-words/-/blob/master/README.md . @cyclical_obsessive@fosstodon.org @KC1PYT@mastodon.radio

I wonder if I should learn #Braille or #MorseCode. I know a little bit of both (about 15 minutes practice a day for a week on each topic), but I wonder which one is a more important thing to learn. What do you think?

Bydlos of russian “Spy Numbers Station”, known as M12, was active on 9319kHz at 19:40 UTC Sept 17 2026. Received in WIMilan using a Cold War-era Plessey PR2250 receiver radio and MLA30+ outdoor antenna. Can anyone from #AmateurRadio #HamRadio help me with this message What was the message? #MorseCode #eu #europe #Ukraine #news #Italy

When I first got my amateur radio license, I spent most of my time in the novice area of the 40-meter band. That's where I learned Morse code and got my Morse code up to speed so that I could go to other areas of the band. I really need to make an effort to go and see if there are still people hanging out on the novice area of the 40-meter band and slow it down and help some people along. I think it was somewhere around 7.100 #AmateurRadio #MorseCode

I just had two younger people, one still in high school and one in their mid-20s, ask me if I would help them get their ham radio license. Of course I will, and for each of them, I promised that if they get their license, I would buy them a QMX Plus kit from QRP Labs and get them active on CW and digital modes. I'm actually kind of considering getting that ticket that lets you proctor the amateur radio exams https://qrp-labs.com/qmxp.html #AmateurRadio #MorseCode #QRP

I need to hurry up and put up a dedicated 30m antenna already. #AmateurRadio #HamRadio #CW #MorseCode
