Thursday morning Coffee Break Morse is still going well with Chris G4CCX who is doing a great job. He had seven people sign in last week so it really is good to see the enthusiasm carrying on, despite the attraction of some good weather and the chores of the garden.
KEEP UP THE PRACTICE!!!
.
Programs for the computer are available in abundance, and some are a lot of fun too. Try some of the following:
.
Morserunner. This is a dead ringer for N1MM+ contest program, with lots of programmable parameters to account for real life reception. This will help to build your score in any CW contest.
.
RufzXP. This is great for call sign copy. You are presented with 50 call signs which you have to type on the keyboard and if you get the call correct, the speed increases. This happens each time until you are unable to copy and then it slows down. There is a scoring table so that you can keep a tally of your progress.
.
Just learn Morse Code. Again, a program which you can set up to practice with various selections, ranging from numbers and letters, to abbreviations, prosigns and words.
.
Learn CW Online (LCWO). This is similar to the above only you can use it on line. Try a few mixed groups, great practice for call signs!
.
TEACH4 by ZL1AN. This is the one most of us use for tuition in the GB2CW classes. Loads of text files to practice with, and again, parameters you can set.
.
Have a great summer and look forward to starting the classes again in the autumn.
