Have been studying CW, can recognize the letters now and type out letters, but have to stop and think, once it gets to words that I don’t have time to think about each letter separate, I get lost pretty easily, anyway hope to be on the air with cw soon, haven’t decided what keyer to get yet, so many options out there

 

Might be me but this message is confusing as to what it is about!!

Morse Code on carrier wave for ham radio.

 

Bit like Auto Direction Finder for aircraft the identifier is in morse.

 

That is an old skill and takes practice that is for sure!

 

sorry about that, CW is morse code on a ham radio, morse code, CW Continuous wave, the dots and dashes break the continuous wave

since I got into ham radio I just started studying morse code,

 

I thought it would be easy, it isn’t bad, but a little more challenging to recognize the letters than I thought, but it’s fun learning something new

 

At least now you can get a amateur radio license without knowing Morse code.

 

They did dumb down the testing, but I figured I would learn it anyway, sending Im probably 10 to 12 wpm, copying, much slower, probably around 5, which would have been the novice level

 

and to me what is un fair to the people that had to take the code test is that people now like me pass the extra class and can use more frequencies than the people that have the advanced license and took the code test, I know they can test up, but they should have the same frequency range since they took a more advanced test
