im still trying to learn, but im wondering, how did you learn? by memorization or by practicing with a computer?

[AF2Z]

I learned the Code from some old phonograph records. These are featured in one of my videos, but I would suggest using a software program instead. Programs are available on the net but I don't know which one is best for a beginner. One thing you definitely should NOT do is memorize dots and dashes from a chart. Morse Code is a language of sound, so you should learn the sound of each letter. By visualizing dots and dashes you will limit your future progress greatly.

Thanks for that compliment! But no, I'm not Navy op. However, I did learn my code from some old Army Signal Corps records (featured in one of the other videos.) -- 73, Drew

Well done. Nice fist.

Can you advise the source of the key?

Beautifully done video ... and a sweet fist as well!

I wonder if you would allow us to embed this video on the VIZ Key website (with the appropriate author credits, of course)?

73!

Thanks! Sure, go ahead and embed it. I'm happy to showcase such a great key! (...but could probably do a better video now since having gotten a new camera, as well as a little more bug practice :)

Beautifully engineered key.. Dont knoow if I could break away from Iambic Paddles though.. ;-)

The non-automatic dah's do take a bit of getting used to. But it is fun trying!

Very nice. I like the close up shots from the different angles. Cool bug. My Friday morning coffee buddies would love this! Randy
