CW Morse Code F ?
 

Anyone got any good frequencies aside from the ham bands that send good CW?
I'm tyring to get my code speed up after years dormancy.
tnx

Henry, I'd recommend the G4FON program. It's even better!

I have it, and it's neat and unique but I want to copy real information.

How about W1AW code practice bulletins from the ARRL? See freqs and times at
the ARRL website:

The best practice is to get on and work someone. Even if it's a buddy down the
street.

Good Luck!

Henry,

Simple enough...go to your favorite news source on the web and cut and paste
an article into the Koch trainer.

Speaking of CW... I read recently that the ITU is coming up with a unique code
for the @ sign. I believe it's .--.-. (didadadidadit, i.e., A and C sent as
one).

Just take a listen on any of the ham bands in the CW portion.

Bill [K5BY],

1. I would have logically thought that the "@" Sign would have
been represented as "A" (.-) and "T" (-) for [AT] (.--) Prosign.

but, But. BUT ! (.--) is already used for "W".

Oh... NEVER MIND !

TBL: So the Prosign "AC" (.--.-.) will be the "@" Sign in CW.


2. I would think that the "DOT" (Period) would simply be the
* CW "Period" (.-.-.-) {6}
* Vice Spelling Out "DOT" in CW as (-.. --- -) {9}


3. Question: How is the [World Wide Web] Anagram "WWW" sent ?
? Simply as "W W W" (.-- .-- .--) the three separate Letters.
? Or simply as "www" (.--.--.--) a compress 'www' Prosign.

Their are several CW tutorial programs that you can download for free. Plus
the ARRL transmissions.

Bill, N5NOB

Good questions, RHF, but I think you answered them all. G

The thing about the @ sign, there was no option for that special character. And
it does look kind of like an A inside a C.

I do think WWW should have a more convenient form. I suppose when it was sent
in a certain context, a single W would be understood. Maybe a W3... Unless
one's call sign begins with that. G

Bill, K5BY

MK,

But... [IF] "W W W" (.-- .-- .--) were transformer by the ITU into a
PROSIGN for the "World Wide Web" then it would be "www" (.--.--.--) .

That is the nature of Prosigns ( I Think ? )


Bill [K5BY],

I did not visualize the "a" within a "C" for the [ @ ].

But now that it has been pointed out the Prosign "AC" (.--.-.)

Does make a lot of sense now - So (.--.-.) for [ @ ] it is.

I would use .-.-.- if it were me doing it... Same as it's written.

.-- .-- .-- Shouldn't ever run together normal letters...

How about 3W, then? There won't be any conflict with 3WE, now that
they're WTAM again.

20 years ago, sonny, ya could've listened to any number of maritime CW
stations from all corners of the globe. Not today, unfortunately.

If you want to get your code speed up, you're probably best listening in
the ham bands.

Hams don't send perfect code, especially with straight keys (hell, we're
human like anyone else) -- and band conditions aren't necessarily optimum on
there -- QRM, QRS, etc. so if you can pull some signals out of the hash on
there and copy them, you will develop code speed better and faster than if
you listened to W1AW or some mechanical code sending system.

Check the ARRL website for their net schedules. There should be several
slow-speed traffic nets listed for HF. Monitor some of those and you
will have plenty of "real" practice.
