Learn Morse Code with the Ham Radio Solutions CW Hotline

Are you looking for a way to learn, or practice Morse code? The CW Hotline might be a great option for you. This multi-functional device is an easy-to-build kit that will connect you with other people who want to learn. You can use it as a stand-alone practice oscillator, connect to VBand, or simply connect directly to any of your friends who also have a CW Hotline in service.

In this video I walk you through the kit build, configurations, and then demonstrate how easy it is to connect with a friend and start sending and receiving Morse code.

 

I know, it is not covid complient.

 

...compliant... sorry.

 

Going to mount one on my front door. If they can't figure it out then I won't come to the door.

 

Haha. YES! filtering out your circle of friends to the ones that matter.

 

I send it text to myself once in 20wpm, and I recognized how bad I sound.... excellent idea for forcing improvement!

 

Charlie: Take that steel portable paddle you show towards the end of your video, and mount its magnetic
feet onto this:

You could also push the CW button on your Icom 7300 and spin the big knob counter-clockwise until you hear "dits and dahs" and learn that way without buying another box to clutter the desk...unless you like clutter...and spending money better spent elsewhere.

 

I use 30m, or 17m, 100W less from the antenna actually, when bands are closed (or could they open, I really don't care) pounding series of 5 alphabetically switched letters with my homebrew sideswipper.
Ressembles Enigma's, but it's not.
Of course, identify myself each 10mn.
Mucha fun, are we not children.

I learn what each ltter sound like and number my hearing is not great but wearing hearing aid i can really copy most of letters and numbers !i can copy 7 wpm i start out slow wet feet lol will take me time but getting there once i pick up my speed no more then 15 wpm !

 

What a great device! Every single thing related to Morse Code is absolutely profitable and beneficial.
Hope many other hams use the Ham Radio Solutions CW Hotline all around the globe very often.
73's!

 

I agree practice sending is very good as a beginner I have heard some very good sending and poor sending on the air trying to practice my copy skills. I may try to figure how to use a dual paddle key with the oscillator shown.
I bought a music storage device at best made by Sandisk at Best Buyand and was able to copy cw files from ARRL web site on to the small Sandisk music storage device and listen to cw anywhere.
