Revamping Morse Code

Posted on November 2, 2011 by Simone
My Begali Stradivarius
My Begali Stradivarius

I’ve just started making practice on the air with Morse code. After many years and three courses, I found time and inspiration to start making some contacts on the air in CW.

If you are one of the unlucky operator that found me on CW, accept my apologies…. I’m still learning how to conduct a QSO. My absolute first contact in CW has been with MU/PA9M on 12 meters band on 23rd October 2011.

I’m using a Stradivarius key from Begali, that is my wife’s present for my 40th birthday.

I still finding very difficult to decode high WPM Morse code..but as you may know.. it’s matter of time and practice.

Maybe you already know, maybe not but one of the most interesting places where to learn Morse Code, is Online… yes, using Learn CW Online.

It’s a terrific web site, surely programmed by a skilled CW Operator and superb PHP Programmer. Highly Recommended.

In the mean time     _ _… …_ _

    Hi Simone,

    Would be happy to give you some CW practice, hi! I’m working on raising my copy speed and have found the G4FON software to be a big help with that. Give it a try.

    vy 73,

    Casey
