Best Morse Code Learning Program?

Question

What is the best program for learning Morse Code? I am taking my General Amateur Radio License Test in a couple of months and would like to be able to also pass the Code test. I know code is no longer needed, but would love to learn it and use it. Free or not...doesn't matter, Just want the best way to learn it.

Answer 1

Two places listed below. The first is a program for learning Morse Code. The second is a flash game I came across that only accepts commands in Morse Code (with a legend for the code). The third and last link isn't a program, but claims to teach Morse Code in 1 minute and actually looks fairly simple (just gotta memorize it).

You might do better, at least to learn how to send, computers don't really help you sending or learning to "key". The sound of the code also makes a difference. Some computer programs send the characters very slowly. So if you are just learning and the characters are sent at 5wpm and spaced at 5wpm it is hard to learn. I learned much faster when the characters were sent at say 10wpm or even 15wpm and the spacing was longer. You begin to "hear" characters rather than dits and dahs... don't even think of trying to count them either that just messes your mind! Some of the better computer programs let you set the character speed and the overall speed... try faster characters longer spacing it may help. As with any "language" you will be confused, then one day it just sounds right. Keep listening and pick out as much as you can. Even try listening over the air. The ham bands still have plenty of code in use.

Answer 4

The below site permits you to type in whatever you want to see and hear in Morse Code. You may set and proceed at your own speed. It's not a learning course but you should find it invaluable in learning Morse Code. Set both speeds in the 5 WPM area and repeat a letter until you feel you have mastered it. Add additional letters of the alphabet as you proceed. Good luck.

Answer 5

I used G4FON morse trainer. It is a free downloadable program. With one hour daily practice, I was able to decode 15 wpm in a couple of months. It worked for me. Whatever method you use, I think that the most important factor is your enthusiasm to learn and acquire the skill. As with any other skill, correct practice makes perfect. practice. practice. practice. There is no one minute shortcut to learning it.
