[Fists] Learning Morse code

[Karl]

Below is the info that I am now including with all the K7QO Code Course CD
Sets.  Even if you are using another method, the key is working it on a
regular schedule.

 

Learning Morse code

Anyone can learn Morse code.  All it takes is three things, your COMMITMENT,
some PATIENCE and PERSEVERANCE.  Once you have made the COMMITMENT that you
will learn Morse code, you have to understand that you will need to be
PATIENT, as it will take a little time.  Your PERSEVERANCE will be setting a
regular daily schedule set aside for studying.  Two or three, 5-10 or 10-15
minutes sessions each day is the best way.  Once a week or when you think
about it is not going to get you there.  Start with the "Instant Recognition
is the Key" CD. If you get frustrated during a session, just stop.  Start
again at your next scheduled session.  Once you have completed the first CD,
you will have a good grasp of recognizing letters, number and punctuation by
their sound.  Now proceed with the "General Class Question Pool" CD.  Keep
to your scheduled sessions as you copy words, phrases and sentences.  Again
if you get frustrated, stop and pick it up at your next scheduled session.
Once you have completed the second CD, you are more than ready to get on the
air and either call "CQ" or answer another's "CQ" call.  Do your best then
to have at least one QSO a day.  This will help you to increase your copying
speed along with your sending speed.  There are lots of Morse code study
courses and program.  FISTS, Americas Chapter, has teamed with Chuck, K7QO
to distribute his course.  We do that because we know it works with your
COMMITMENT, PATIENCE and PERSEVERANCE.  Looking forward to working you on
CW!
