100 Common QSO words @15wpm -- Beginning Morse Code

100 common words, Q-codes, abbreviations, etc. that you'll encounter in a Morse Code / CW QSO in Ham radio.

By the way there is a mistake. I sent G5VR rather than G5RV. Mea culpa

I remember watching this video about a year ago when I was just starting out, and it was hopeless. I could keyboard-copy about 10% of the words.

Now I can head copy 100% and read each word out loud in between.. to the point I had to double-check a few times when I got to the abbreviations (RTU? what's that?). :) Feels awesome.

Thanks for this excellent resource!

Thank you for this video this will jump start my old ears since I'm off the air for 3yrs...73!

I am very new to CW and just got the code in my head. 15 wpm is still too fast for me to copy but the youtube settings allow me to halve the playback speed and gives me 7.5ish wpm and I can copy almost all of it. Thanks for this really useful resource.

A great resource which I know will help me lots. Thanks for the efforts on your part.

[MACARRY]

I haven't pounded since late 90's. I'm still able to copy FB.

Thanks for creating and posting such a helpful resource for beginners like myself .... I find that it takes me some time to ignore the distractions around me and actually lock onto the letters and words being sent ... once the “lock” is “on” my accuracy immediately improves .... Getting there more quickly now... ☘️

Most useful, thank you for taking the time to make this video.

[kjvoller]

Many thanks for this, just what I needed to get me back to using CW again

[donaldshields]

That was very good it really helped me quite a bit I’m just getting back into CW spacing is a big problem for me some people cram cram everything altogether I will keep trying thank you

[randywade]

These videos have helped me a lot. THANK YOU!

[thodeus]

amazing i still can get the letters, codes and somehow picture the words.. and this would be my comfort speed even if my ear is trained in 13wpm.

[yourshootingbuddy]

Thanks for this enjoyable video. Enjoyable? Yes, listening to the rhythm and spacing of the dits and dahs. I found it enjoyable on its own.

[HamRadioQRP]

I already noticed a mistake... I sent G5VR rather than G5RV. Mea culpa

[glenn]

Wait! Who would go out of their way to key 'UH'? I guess you might use it to accent something but for me it's just an involuntary sound i make to gather my thoughts before I speak.

[ericwalton]

Or should I say, you will HEAR how it flows!

[adamschrepfer]

read in other places that it takes a good hour a day for a couple of months (10 to 12 weeks) to be able to catch this....do you recommend listening with one's eyes closed and trying to recognize the letters/words ( I can catch 'the') or is it better to read and listen at the same time over and over again ? (and again, thank you for posting this stuff)

[Grunta]

I'm getting a lot of the 38wpm but it's obviously too fast to write or follow the sentence. Still a lot of training needed to overcome this. At high speeds it becomes almost musical.

[adriansalt]

This is much slower than 15wpm... maybe on character speed but not effective speed. This seems to have a Farnsworth adjustment.

[wadepatton]

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

[applejacks]

I wish there was one at 5 or 10 wpm. Playing at slower speeds as beginners really messes up the time by extending the tones. The dits sounds like what a dah should actually be.
