Here is a Simple, Easy Way to Learn Morse Code

❤ thanks ❤

Outstanding. Thank you!

Oh man, i was interested o. Learning morse code just for fun, but i basically gave up cause was too hard to understand. That until this video, thank you very much, the ritm was the key for me to make it way easier. Now i will try to learn

Thanks, Jim! This is really helpful. I'm just starting out, and I feel like you've put me on the right path for success. :) Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Much appreciated.

I've had a strange relationship with cw throughout my life, the first time I touched a key was when my dad explained an electric circuit to me he set up a battery, bulb and an old key he had as a switch. I don't know why he had a key because he didn't do cw or radio other than cb in his truck. that led me to building a little spark gap station but I had nobody to talk to so that fizzled out. Then I was using that key for science fair and someone stole it. fast forward I went into the Army in communications, I looked into getting my ham license then but was too lazy to learn cw so that fizzled out. then years after I got out, I got the bug to learn it, I started practicing, got my tech and general. still struggled learning it well enough to copy, then got sidetracked building antenna's and bs'n on 40m. then took a break from ham for around 8yrs. the other day I had to tune up a CB antenna for one of our customers and seen my little ft-817 in the bag and got the bug again so up went the wire and up went the station. made some QSO's did some DX. started learning cw again so I can try pota, that looks like a lot of fun. I'm starting to copy some on the air bu I got a way's to go yet. but yeah, the pattern's is what's helping me this time and the app's are better.

came across this as a random you tube suggestion
glad i clicked it now
makes perfect sense
im a musician so ......
might be about to learn morse code lol
thank you for the suggestion and for that big hint
thank you from a dull overcast england

This video confirms what I thought would be the best method to learn this😮

Excellent advice and method.

My late father was on RAF transport aircraft during WW2 as a radio operator. He mustered up as a pilot but he was, throughout my lifetime, always doing Morse code on his chair arm. He said exactly the same as you. Apparently you can get so attuned, you can tell who's sending the message by their 'voice'. x

Tnx Jim, I never tried the singing method. I will do it when I'm not around my key. I'm an ex CT-2 and a retired RM-1. Tnx agn K9PDQ 73 ar

It’s all nice and good, but I don’t see how learning 40+ different rythms would help getting it any faster.

Thanks sir. ✌️

I love Morse code! I learned it about 35 years ago when I got licensed. Can’t get it out of my head. I read the signs all the time like that. I don’t think I’ll ever forget it. Working CW with other operators is a blast. Some of the best operators out there.👍👍👍🇨🇱🇺🇸

Thank you so much for this video. i would like to visit this video again in case I have questions, but for now I am just glad to have come across this video. I too live in Texas. I'm hoping I can make a few friends out there through the art of ham radio and morse code. I notice that I have memorized the alphabet for the majority, but have a hard time receiving messages. Maybe it's because they are sending in a "sloppy" manner so it's hard to copy. I also need improvement on sending as well. I'm sure I'll get it in time. :)

Thank you sir, I need to slow down this video 0.75x to make it clearer 😅

Very nice instructional video. I learned this white boy has no rhythm lol

There is only one easy way. Perseverance!! Get yea to LCWO and listen on line, "CQ CQ CQ DE" will come first, grow from there.
If you cannot understand a language you will never speak it. It's not about characters, it's about vocabulary.

Thank u sir, for me its so helpull and i think its so very easy now learn the morse code,

Thanks for the tips. I you have another lesson on receiving and taking down code

Decided to start learning for the hell of it. Who knows when it could come in handy. Great video man.

Jim! This was interesting. I always wanted to learn American Morse Code. Where can I find the equipment to continue to practice? Thanks!

When I was young, I learned Morse code when I was a Boy Scout, but I wasn't particularly good at it. Currently, I am relearning this old skill and am also interested in becoming a radio amateur. There are quite a few radio amateur clubs in Belgium, and they regularly organize training sessions. This video was very insightful and educational, thank you very much for that! However, I have a question about the definition of WPM. Does it mean 'words per minute'? Not all words are the same length, right? So I was wondering how this is counted or how the speed is determined? Thanks again!

Morse Code is old and obsolete same for you.

did a bird crap on your shirt?

Perfect thank you so much. This method is helping me the most, everything is starting to sink in now. 73

Awsome recommendation!
Thank you kindly

Hi, is it worth leaning the code if I’m not intending to ever transmit and send? Thank you so much.😊

Hi I’m new to HAM KE2CYH and I’ve always loved mores code. Can you advise me on what straight key I should purchase, there are so many out there and I want to get the right one for a beginner. 73

I love Morse code

Great video my friend.

Just interested, nothing special.

RM "A' class 7203, first codeless class at NTC SD!

All about the Rhythm, havnt learnt morse . But when i did my morse appreciation here in the uk i didnt get it to start with. Then my instructer said Kev you played the drums listen to the rhythym. Thats when i had the light bulb moment and got it. Great vidio Jim

Sing along. Thats it.

Takes me back- learning the song
'Fetch A Fireman"

Letter Pairs, copying behind worked for me. I got my General Class with 13 wpm the year before the FCC dropped code requirements. 73s from KD7CKT Flagstaff.

I taught Morse code during the Korean War. I already knew it very well when I was inducted into the Army in 1948, having learned it long earlier in while in the fourth grade. I knew I was going to be assigned in the signal corps. WRONG. I was first assigned to the quartermaster corps!

This is similar to how I learned to type a text message before smartphones.

Excellent video

Great job

Great insight....Anyone can learn a tune. Very Smake approach...Thanks

New subscriber here. Brilliant concept and teaching method! I look forward to the learning journey.

can you skip most vowels when sending words because we usually can figure out wrds wthout the vwls?

Good grief, man - put on a clean shirt when you make a video. You’re wearing ½ your lunch, and covered in disgusting filth. What in hell is wrong with Americans? They’ve had ZERO pride in themselves or their country since November 2015.

Hi I have gained a recent interest in Morse Code and this is the only vid that has helped me so far. I just have one question which is how can I remember the basic code, because if I cant remember the code itself I cannot sing it to myself. I know that this might be very confusing but I am still stuck on how I should sing it to myself. Any and all help is very much appreciated

You have a nice morse fist and I agree with our method of learning the code. But... your dits are a bit short in relation to the dahs,.. 73 de HA7RJA (40+ yrs morse addict)

Thank you sir!!

Hey there! Thanks a bunch for tips and tricks. Bye for now
