The Long Island CW Club (LICW) is pleased to offer focused Field Day CW training during the month of June. These sessions are open to all amateur radio operators. You do not need to be a member of LICW to attend, and there is no charge for the training. All training is conducted over Zoom.

New part coming soon for my #HamRadio Single-paddle #MorseCode key system. This is a base that you can glue magnets into, for using the key on a steel block like the commonly-used jeweler's blocks. Like the rest of my system, it is parametric, designed to be easily modified in FreeCAD. The screen shot is an example for using a dozen ¼" magnets. However, the size of the hole for the magnet (6.55mm for 6.35mm ¼" magnets), depth of the hole, thickness of the block, and number of magnets in each direction are all parameters that you can tweak.

Please respond with a size of magnet that you have that you would want to use with this system! I'll use your responses to create some variations on this part to include in the next release. Sizes can be in metric or US customary units.

#CW practice continues to go well with LCWO. I find that doing both the Lessons and Morse Machine to be effective. I'm also still using the IZ2UUF app but not as much as LCWO. It would be great if that app supported keyboard input for copying and then checking against the sent code.

I had to become TODAY years old to find out that the old Nokia SMS tone was actually Morse code for “SMS”:

... -- ...

I am officially too old for this discovery. O.O

Does anyone else still remember these phones? 😄

Any recommended apps or sites that can take audio of Morse code and translate it to text?

From AD0WE's QRZ page, I found The Art and Skill of Radio-Telegraphy by N0HFF, which is the first Morse Code learning resource I've read that recommends a practice that I started doing naturally: vividly imagining morse as a learning technique.

Sit quietly in a chair, close your eyes, relax, and imagine you are hearing each letter sound (just as you heard it), taking them one at a time, and immediately recognizing it or writing it down with a pencil. Make the picture as realistic and vivid as you can, even to imagining the "feeling" the pencil writing on the paper. Feel a sense of satisfaction of doing it right. Three to five minutes practice this way at any one time is probably enough. You can then repeat this kind of mental practice with each new group of characters as you learn them, and it will greatly strengthen the habit you are trying to build.

I practice both sending and receiving code with vivid imagination. To this day, I have trouble with D/B and B/6, and I have improved by vividly imagining hearing them and speaking (rather than writing) them, but I do this practice with all symbols. I also vividly imagine sending. I'll use memorized text, and imagine sending the whole thing, down to imagining feeling the particular key I'm imagining that I'm using between my thumb and fingers.

I have found this practice helpful.
