CW Morse Practice Motivation Best Phone App

My tips and tricks for learning CW / Morse Code for ham amateur radio. There are many skills in this tutorial that I talk about in this video as well. It takes practice to get good and sending code on the radio.

CW software is going to help you get there also. You'll need a good CW Iambic Paddle as well. Continuous wave has many benefits. You'll want to reap these benefits when I teach you CW keying.

Learning Morse Code is not that hard. Now simply called "CW", radio communication by Morse code was the only way to communicate for the first decade or more of Amateur Radio. Radiotelegraphy, the proper name, descends from landline (wired) telegraphy of the 19th century, and retains some of the old culture, including a rich set of abbreviations and procedures. Morse sent by spark gap transmitter was the first wireless communication mode. These "damped waves" were very broad and inefficient for communication.

Great Idea. I have that app (I think you mentioned this in a previous vlog, not sure). I need to use it more often, I'm still very new to CW and need to keep honing those dits and dahs!
