Grampa. Navy. He taught me by bangin on stuff so we could talk and nobody knew. He and his buddies used it before they all got ham shacks and when i came home from west germany in the 70s his ham buddies and he let me and my high school boyfriend talk on their network. Ah the good ole days. Where did you learn it?
Wow...what wonderful memories for you! So cool for you to learn from your Paw Paw! Treasured times for sure. My husband got his HAM License at 15 and he has a collection of WWII Military Signal Corp items. I don't have my license but Code is kinda easy for me to pick up because it's rhythmic, like music. If I can't figure it out I cheat and ask him..kek!
Haha mebbe do a morse code song! I can just see the reeee
That is a cool skill. I hafta find grampas index card with the alfabet on it to decode your message its not where I left it!
To learn Morse code easily, learn by ear rather than sight, treating it as a spoken language where you recognize the rhythm and pattern of sounds instead of counting individual dots and dashes.
Start with the Koch method, which teaches letters at a high speed (e.g., 20+ WPM character speed) with wide spacing between them, forcing your brain to recognize whole letter patterns instantly.
Key strategies for rapid acquisition include:
Avoid Visual Charts: Do not look at Morse code charts or count dits and dahs; this creates a mental bottleneck that slows down fluency.
Use Audio Resources: Utilize free online tools like LCWO.net or apps like Morse Mania to practice listening and copying code.
Practice Consistently: Dedicate 10–20 minutes daily to copying random letter groups or words, gradually increasing speed as you become comfortable.
Learn Common Letters First: Start with simple letters like E, T, A, I, M, N and common words like SOS to build confidence before tackling complex combinations.
