Sonic Fields's video: Learn to Read Morse 24 wpm

Being a CW (morse) straight key user, I was looking to improve the speed of my own sending without compromising on quality and hence readability by others. During my search for a useful tool to check the accuracy of my own hand keying, I came across a freeware programme called PCW-FistCheck, which provides a useful indication of the keyed mark-space ratio and hence its accuracy and readability by others, which I required. As an off-shoot from this, I realised from numerous comments posted on other morse related videos by others, that many You-Tubers would love to read morse, but unfortunately are intimidated by the sheer speed and often accompanied by poor readability being showed off in videos. To redress this balance I'm posting this series of videos based on the CW FistCheck programme, which provides perfectly formed CW of the top 1000 most frequently used words in the English Language. The learning process is to repeat, repeat, repeat as much as possible, until it becomes familiar - don't copy anything down - Just listen to the CW as you read from the screen, then eventually you can close your eyes and read it in your head! Each video progressively increases in speed, both at the beginning and at the mid-point partly by making use of the Farnsworth Technique. In addition there will be no set audio tone or 'clean signal', the tone, wave shape and volume will vary throughout the series in order to provide a more realistic reading experience without going to the extent of fading signals, interference etc. 73 de G4TJY
