Here is a You Tube Video with an explanation of what is happening in case
you don't copy Morse Code or it's too fast for you

When you hear the Morse Code in the clear, that is simulating your station
calling out for stations to come back to you
and when they call you.... you hear simulated Morse Code with static and
fading mixed in with the guys calling you

In the 2nd video, many stations will sometimes call you all at once and you
have to use your brain and ears to sort out
one of them to put in the logbook

Code speed is around 30 words per minute ( a Morse Code Word is made up of 5
letters just like typing class as I recall ) 


Here's what 50 Words Per Minute sounds like - It is not a good recording and
and even more difficult to decipher becasue of the ECHO in teh room.
Normally one would wear a headset so there would be no echo unless you were
Blonde
( Just kidding on the Blonde part ...He He ! )
