If you have no dental floss because your teeth fell out years ago try cutting a small piece of soft foam from a sponge and wedge/light glue it in the spring mount center.

And the groove is on 😊

Please send S L O W E R -. I'm 53 just learning. My next door had a Vibroplex bug when I was a kid. I have wanted one since the day he showed me "How it worked" I have keys and learning straight first. Due to carpel tunnel and arthritis. I think a bug or a Vibroplex but on the other plane would be gold. Thanks for the demo. May I asked how you got your bug to send so slow? Counter weight? tweek? Hack? Usually that things flying.. 73

I understand there is a point this may make sense to me... I just still cant wrap my head around not only memorizing the code- but moistening how I tap the paddles to successfully key said code

Clear & concise, THANKS! 73 de 2E0HJN

Im about to go crazy with those morse codes

Please keep the videos coming!

Wish I could see a transcript in english that I could download and put iy in LICW practice generator and shuffle the words.

8:40 Maybe that is why the characters in a message meant for morse code and and are grouped in the into 5 characters each but pause in between them. This gives the brain time to process the information ?

Awesome video, thanks for making it. Especially awesome to see you have a Ten-Tec Century 21!

And when you succeed, you may increase speedness whith the parameters. At x2, good luck !

This is great I'm trying to get my CW back after over two decades of none use.

What is your favorite straight key now, 8 years later?

This is excellent to keep my 80-year-old brain mostly active. I amaze myself at what I can copy! Thank you for the video.

The brain needs a breather. a common punctuation here ant there would be a good thing, if 20 wpm is the desired practice speed.

I am learning Morse code for 6 months I started it 10 WPM for 6 months ago Now I am here Every morning I listen this video .. Now I can copy 60 % My goal is perfectly copy this video TNX 73

Nice but i need longer breaks between the letters

Old video, but current issue. I learned on a $5.99 Radio Shack straight key. Years later I picked up a side paddle keyer and got used to it. Then came the shocker... after using the side key for a long time I found that I was completely unable to use a straight key again! Strange... no matter how accustomed I am to a straight key I can switch right over to a side paddle key without the slightest re-training of the mind and hand. But, the process will not work in reverse.

I first came across the sideswiper on a Russian ship in the 70s. I found it very useful for sending number groups, as in OBS (weather report) messages. I also wondered why Russian radio operators were so much better, faster and clearer, than most of us. Reduces the likelyhood of Carpel Tunnel syndrome/CTS/Glass arm, or W@nker's Cramp, if you prefer. I liberated it and have it at home. Transition from standard to sideswiper took an hour or two. What amazes me is that in 3 years in Radio College, it was never mentioned. Good video. Thanks.

Very informative vid on learning Morse code! 🙂 Me I’m using an app called Morse Mania & learning the code at 20 wpm for starters ( not the slow 5 wpm speed ) Yes starting to get good at learning Morse code! Even built a little code practice oscillator from a small buzzer, a straight key & a 9 volt battery, to practice my Morse code on! 👍 Jeff VE3EUP

Why send "AND" when "ES" is what I hear in place of it?

Ao invés de um RC, a utilizaçãp de um micro relé melhora muito o problema e sem causar deformação

Hi folks , whats a good first keyer ?

I don’t care for Intrepid. Still use vibroplex.

We have all experienced this. 73/F8MGW

Just started within the last 24hrs. I'm surprised I was able to recognize a chunk of these without looking but I've been practicing with short hands (LID and [HH] being the most frequent 😅 used in the mock transmissions)

Although I'm right handed I prefer the paddle to be reversed.

I recognize the all-black William Nye straight key on the right... I have two of them. Probably the best commercial straight key. The weight is built into the key so it doesn't slide around or need a separate weighted plate. Its a peculiar designed though is that the contacts are closed by a plunger that passes through the key body. But it works with the best of the straights.

I've always preferred to use a straight key... that's just me. I also have a number of side-paddle keys, both mechanical and electronic which I enjoy using too, but I'm loath to hook them up to a transmitter. For some reason after I've used a side-paddle for a while, I no longer can send using a straight key and have to learn all over again. It's odd - I can switch from a straight key to a side key without missing a beat, but once I've been on the sidewinder for a while I play hell trying to readjust to straight key telegraphy.

The first step, before modifying the bug, is to make sure the bug is adjusted properly and manipulated correctly. Proper adjustment and manipulation will cure most problems with "split dots" or other artifacts when transmitting. Proper adjustment and manipulation will also help one develop a good, readable "fist" with proper ratio and spacing. This video may be helpful: ua-cam.com/video/qekmyx31Uxw/v-deo.html

Used the Radio Manpacked and in a Landrover in the Royal Netherlands Marines Corps until 1980.

多謝

Great video! I love CW but can't stand it when an operator runs all his letters together. Instead of a QSO I'm presented with a puzzle to put together on my end and that's not a good QSO to have. Worse yet, some of these guys try to pass off their sloppy sending as their style or "unique" fist. Nonsense, bad is bad. When you come across these guys, just don't work them or if they start doing this during the QSO tell them they are running their characters together. No harm in that.

cooty is the key im most interested in

500 common english words Morse code wide spacing. Can’t fine it anymore 0:46

감사합니다

nice beacon :)

This has helped me to head copy over a few weeks .

The real advantage of the 300Hz filter is that it an interfering signal won't have as much effect on the AGC. The DSP is after the AGC when co-signal blocking has already happened. Admittedly, this is less obvious in these hybrid rigs but even so, AGC blocking is the real issue. Also, astute use of the shift control can serve to put the interfering signal deeper into the skirt. I use a combination of R.Fil, DSP, Shift and APF to eek the best out of a signal on a crowded band. ..not a big fan of DSP NR though, even at level 1.

Learning is challenging and I wish I could space out the letters so apparently it’s easy to learn how to fast speed rate or words per minute rate like 15 to 20 but unless you have time in between the letters, I’m usually dropping the rate down to 25%, which is about five words a minute, so I’m getting it all of itbut I think it might be dwarfing the ability to learn so I guess fast rate with more time in between letters would be a really functional learning tool. I just have to learn how to finagle that in another tool. Thanks for putting these putting these out thanks for putting these.

Maybe someday. For now, Ill stick to my straight key

Anyone here writing the morse code first instead of the letter after hearing it?

I have failed two words...thank you.

I can get about 1% of this just starting out, I’ll come back and have 80% in 3 weeks hopefully 😼

I can’t listen to any slower speeds now! Hopefully that is progress on my part😅

Is it me, or does L and D sound identical?!🥴

Nice video. I have noticed that the dit-space ratio (dwell) is affected by L1 (Dit Contact), L3 (Dit Bar Excursion) and L4 (Dit Weight Fine-Tuning). In practice, I have been setting L3 to get just enough "throw" for reliable operation (about 1 mm at the end of the dit arm for me), then using L1 (or L4) to adjust the dwell. I have found that L4 also influences the speed (in addition to dwell) and can require resetting R4 (damper), as such - I don't use it much. As an experiment, I found that moving the pendulum weights varied the speed between 18 & 34 wpm with L4 "out", and between 13 & 25 wpm with L4 "in". I suspect the speed ranges may be different for alternate settings of L3 - I don't fiddle with L3 on a routine basis. I have lately been operating with L4 "out", using the pendulum weights to adjust speed, and using L1 to adjust the dwell. I would be interested to know how other people use L4 - there may be some nuance with it because it essentially counterbalances the spring in L1.

Great practice. Trying to relearn after 60 years. Nice mind benders
