Man, this takes me back. My grandfather was a fast key on ham radio, and whenever I'd go visit my grandparents as a kid, I'd hear the symphony of dits and dahs from his radio room. Fond memories.
On this particular key, yes. You realize that it is connected to a "keyer" with three wires. If you hold the left larger paddle against the contacts, it will send a series of short dits until released. The right small button if held against the contacts will send a series of longer dahs until released. So you have to develop a rhythm to send the dits and dahs. The "keyer" also has an adjustable speed to it. If you look at my channel you will see other style keys. Thanks for asking!
@aa8ky no offense but u just seem so optimistic wit h all of the "thanks for asking!" any way i wanted to know where can i get one of those things u were using?
@jedihacim Sorry jedihacim, just trying to be polite. If you go to my channel you will see my web site address. Go there and look at the links. There are several dealers you can order off of online and see the products or call them first.
@WelshGreen8225 Morse is a kind of code called a "huffman code." The mathematics is too complicated to get into here, but it basically has the property that, so long as you know the dot or dash on which a letter starts, the pattern of the dots and dashes are such that it will always be clear where the letter ends. Additionally, there are brief pauses between words (and sometimes letters as well.)
I learnt and forgot morse code three times, however I know it now. I'm not very good at it though, I don't know very much people to communicate with using morse code. Ty for all your uploads and comments.
@stupidvid5229 I was just about 13 at the time, but it took about a week to learn everything. It took years to develop skill and accuracy, but you can be understandable after a week or so.
@aa8ky Yep that's the key, "WANT". The mind is an amazing thing. Morse seem so digital and in comprehensible the first time you hear it, it's insane how quickly you begin to equate the dits and dahs into letters and words. If you wan't to learn it you will.
Thanks for the video. When I was trying to learn morse code, I had difficulty. I found this sweet app on the android market that helps a ton. It's called Morse Code Trainer and its free to use forever. I recommend it to anyone trying to learn.
Morse Code is very helpfull in SEA (or in big NO MENS LAND) ...if someone lost in sea & there is no comm. device.... if he has TORCH(any light) he can give these signals to another ship which is very far from you... i think they can understand S.O.S. signals :P code is
@ryanl62 yes ofcourse...all Emergency signals are welcome.... i think people need to follow Morse Codes... this is the one which can transmit in sevral ways....... you can say I LOVE U to ur GF (if she know) tooo lol hahaha :))
very good,. but I agree that SK was read as VA because there is not enought space between S and K,.... even for a ham operator should be understood (i guess)
@yb1fwo I guess I wasn't clear. There is no space in that character. It is dit dit dit dah dit dah, no spaces. They refer to it as SK, not the letters S and K. And the combination of the two letters without a space stands for "End Of Work". It is like dit dah dit dit dit means "wait" but it could be called AS or RI. There are no spaces. There are many combinations letters with no spaces that stand for pieces of information. dit dah dit dah dit stands for "end". They are not letters.
@yb1fwo You have to understand, that is a part of the code that isn't taught with the letters and numbers. You learn it when you learn the "Code". There is more to communicating with Morse code than just letters and numbers. Try tuning into ham bands and copy their code. You will hear a lot of characters that are not familiar unless you use the "Code" for communicating. It's always been that way.
@si06civic86 DE is an abbreviation for "This Is". SK stands for "End of Work " The other one, dah dit dit dit dah, is a symbol used to break up the transmission, sort of like a pause or a separation between parts of a transmission. You may also sometimes hear during a conversation dit dah dit dit dit which means "wait". If the operator taking a break, he may use "wait". There are many abbreviations. You can find a list on my web site, the address is on my channel. Thanks for the question!
The "End of Work" does not sound as SK but VA. Did you send SK or VA? If you did send SK I could not hear any break between S and K and mistook it for VA. How do I distinguish between SK and VA?
If anyone know, let me know, I am just trying to learn this.
@BelRiose2000 It isn't two letters. It is one symbol. dit dit dit dah dit dah There are no spaces between the S and the K. Think of it like the period, three A's, with no spaces in between. If you want to send the symbol for "wait", you could call it AS or RI or LE but it is dit dah dit dit dit, no spacing. It is the difference between symbols and letters.

What I dont understand is how it is read. When you read you have rules and accents and a load of other stuff, I dont see that you would be able to do that with only a monotone beep. What I imagine is hearing each letter and spelling it in your head?
@dennyfrontier There are no accents or grammar in Morse code. They do use a lot of abbreviations, q-codes and signals that stand for things. Like if you hear 73, that means best regards. 88 means love and kisses. QTH means location, etc. There are a long list of abbreviations. The more you do it the better you get, and it becomes easier.
@flashlight67 There is a space between each character and each word. A short pause is between the letters and a longer pause is between the words. Once you get the rhythm you will be able to tell.
@flashlight67 when considering internation code, assume pause between 2 (dits or dahs)"tones" is equal to 1 unit, then the pause between 2 letters equals to 3 units, and the pause between 2 words equals to 7 units. but the period of pause could be varied just like how we talk, the period could be fastened when code is urgent. the only goal, just like what flashlight said, others can tell what you are sending.
@jillybooty Yes, You can speed up or slow down the electronic keyer attached to the keying device. There are also videos on my channel that show slower speeds using different types of keying methods. Thanks for asking.
I guess my hearing has finally gone because I can hardly hear the tones. I've got everything on my laptop turned up as far as it will go. Just me I guess.
@93radiopro I have a video using the straight key. Go to my channel and choose the straight key video. Also using the iambic method and bug. My web site address is also listed on my channel.
@jaketheman987 You're entitled to your opinion. I agree, it is an outdated form of communication, but I don't agree that it is pointless. Not only is it a great hobby using Amateur Radio, it is a skill that can be used when all other forms of communication break down. To each his own, live and let live.
@jaketheman987 pointless? it is a great hobby and interest in ham radio and what happens when all other forms of communication fail? the man on the cw will still be there that for sure what if a war broke out and there was no other means of communication because other forms of comms went down ? the man on the cw will still be there also it is a great skill :-)
@Thewaterofthepool first he sent two sets of VVV VVV that is standard for any or all stations..ok now he gave his call sign AA8KY then break then he did the alphabet in moris code and then ended it and break and gave his call sigh again i learned this in 1965 when i went to the naval radio school in san diego calif and was a radioman in the navy for a few years. i am 65 now and once you learn moris code you will never forget it.
@SourProductions0 yes we called it the jitterbug it is about twice as fast as the normal hand key. and i do know what it is called. did you miss the part as where i said i went to radio school a us navy radio school you learn everything there and i mean everything, history of moris the wig-wag signals smoke signals the whole 9 yards. 6 months of code and core ( thats the electronic part). loads of fun
@vitorix24 About 35 years. But it only takes a short time to learn and you get better the more you practice. Within one year of learning, I could send and receive 40 words per minute.
@cdwc25 I didn't copy the conversation so I really don't know. Best guess, Canadian call signs begin with V, but are usually VA, VE. Perhaps you could listen again near the same frequency.
thanks for putting this video up, was thinking about learning morse code but i dont have a signal generator, the beeber xD. but oh well can still just imagine the noise lol.
@MrPuroazul Communication. Mostly on Amateur Radio these days. But it was proven that you can send and receive morse code at a faster rate than texting on a cell phone.
@aa8ky Wow I'm trying to learn this for boy scouts but I don't think I have enough time. I'm trying to get the signaling merit badge which expires dec 31. I probably won't get it though. DO you think it's possible to learn morse code in a month? I could give you a link to the requirements if you wanna see them
@JacksMagicBean Yes, you could learn the morse code in several days if you want to. I would like to see the requirements. If it is 5 words a minute, you could do it. I could give you some tips.
@JacksMagicBean yes you can but you will need a tape recorder and some ear[hones and o moris code key and and amplifier first record at normal speed the alphabet for example dit dah alpha, dah dit dit dit bravo, dah dit dah dit charlie,you record the dit,s and dah.s only and then you say alpha bravo charlie etc when you hear the code soon it will get in to your brain and stick there like glue belive me 4 hours a day and you can do it
@Havixus Thanks. I built the keyer, the electronic device you hear, but the paddles in the video were made by vibroplex and available at most ham radio dealerships.
@Agomongo1235 at times, some operators will use a long dah for a zero. I don't know why it started. I suppose someone started doing that and others started doing the same thing. But it is not proper morse code, and I do not and would not recommend using a long dah. I've only noticed that happening since the 1980's.
When they had telegraphy on wire for railroads, they had a long dah, but it was not International Morse Code. Good question, thanks for asking!
@Raydrakebell The Iambic paddle was made by a company called Bencher. There are many companies that produce similar items. They can be seen at about any Amateur Radio dealer.
Man, this takes me back. My grandfather was a fast key on ham radio, and whenever I'd go visit my grandparents as a kid, I'd hear the symphony of dits and dahs from his radio room. Fond memories.

@jaketheman987 pointless? it is a great hobby and interest in ham radio and what happens when all other forms of communication fail? the man on the cw will still be there that for sure what if a war broke out and there was no other means of communication because other forms of comms went down ? the man on the cw will still be there also it is a great skill :-)

@RIDDICKorigional Morse Code is still used today by fighter pilots and special forces as a form of silent communication.

Thewaterofthepool 1 year ago
@Thewaterofthepool first he sent two sets of VVV VVV that is standard for any or all stations..ok now he gave his call sign AA8KY then break then he did the alphabet in moris code and then ended it and break and gave his call sigh again i learned this in 1965 when i went to the naval radio school in san diego calif and was a radioman in the navy for a few years. i am 65 now and once you learn moris code you will never forget it.

@RichardOhKaNoi Except you didn't learn what it's called lool

@SourProductions0 yes we called it the jitterbug it is about twice as fast as the normal hand key. and i do know what it is called. did you miss the part as where i said i went to radio school a us navy radio school you learn everything there and i mean everything, history of moris the wig-wag signals smoke signals the whole 9 yards. 6 months of code and core ( thats the electronic part). loads of fun

@RichardOhKaNoi it's just that....you're still calling it Moris code...

@aa8ky (: how many years you "spent" studing CW?
vitorix24 1 year ago
@vitorix24 About 35 years. But it only takes a short time to learn and you get better the more you practice. Within one year of learning, I could send and receive 40 words per minute.

@cdwc25 I didn't copy the conversation so I really don't know. Best guess, Canadian call signs begin with V, but are usually VA, VE. Perhaps you could listen again near the same frequency.

thanks for putting this video up, was thinking about learning morse code but i dont have a signal generator, the beeber xD. but oh well can still just imagine the noise lol.

MrPuroazul 1 year ago
@MrPuroazul Communication. Mostly on Amateur Radio these days. But it was proven that you can send and receive morse code at a faster rate than texting on a cell phone.
aa8ky 1 year ago 11
@aa8ky Wow I'm trying to learn this for boy scouts but I don't think I have enough time. I'm trying to get the signaling merit badge which expires dec 31. I probably won't get it though. DO you think it's possible to learn morse code in a month? I could give you a link to the requirements if you wanna see them
JacksMagicBean 1 year ago
@JacksMagicBean Yes, you could learn the morse code in several days if you want to. I would like to see the requirements. If it is 5 words a minute, you could do it. I could give you some tips.
aa8ky 1 year ago
@aa8ky Lol I guess not then. I must be able to do at least 35 words a minute lol

@aa8ky But please, if you have any advice please share
JacksMagicBean 1 year ago
@JacksMagicBean yes you can but you will need a tape recorder and some ear[hones and o moris code key and and amplifier first record at normal speed the alphabet for example dit dah alpha, dah dit dit dit bravo, dah dit dah dit charlie,you record the dit,s and dah.s only and then you say alpha bravo charlie etc when you hear the code soon it will get in to your brain and stick there like glue belive me 4 hours a day and you can do it

Thanks for the question.

plz respond can the long line also mean three dots
Agomongo1235 1 year ago
@Agomongo1235 at times, some operators will use a long dah for a zero. I don't know why it started. I suppose someone started doing that and others started doing the same thing. But it is not proper morse code, and I do not and would not recommend using a long dah. I've only noticed that happening since the 1980's.
When they had telegraphy on wire for railroads, they had a long dah, but it was not International Morse Code. Good question, thanks for asking!

@aa8ky Sorry dude . wrong word . This is the correct one . Did you make your own iambic paddle ?
Raydrakebell 1 year ago
@Raydrakebell The Iambic paddle was made by a company called Bencher. There are many companies that produce similar items. They can be seen at about any Amateur Radio dealer.
Thanks for asking!
