Very clear and easily audible from my location in Pittsburgh PA.

I need to learn code, but as I was listening, at some point, it seemed
like the character pattern repeated 3 times, there was a pause, then the
signals continued again.

A call up of (for example) 973, 973, 973, 1. 973, 973, 973, 1 etc. is
classic "number station" activity. See :

So you say you need to learn Morse code?!?

Boy do I have a deal for you...actually, I don't have the deal, but
I'd like to make you aware of the deal. There is a Morse code trainer
for Windows that works great and is absolutely free.

It was wriiten by Ray Goff G4FON of the UK, and uses the Koch method
which has to be the easiest and fastest way to learn the code. That
does mean it does not require effort, but does mean that if you use
this program for 15 or 20 minutes a day, you will learn the code in
about 30 days without breaking a sweat.

It works....IF you use it 15 or 20 minutes a day.

You can find it at:

It is the "Koch Method CW Trainer" and you can get the download there.

I hope you try it, and if need any additional help I'd be more than
glad to assist you.

Happy Holidays to all de WA2AFD
