continuous wave

Welcome to /r/morse!

The goal of this subreddit is for members to improve their ability to send and copy cw (Continuous Wave) messages!

Morse is an auditory language, practice on this Discord server.

Also practice sending with morsecode.me.

Morse messages are encouraged but not required. You may consider adding an alphabetic version of your Morse message for beginners to check if they are copying correctly.

A Morse code resource website for translating text based Morse: https://morsecode.scphillips.com/translator.html

NOTE: Submissions to r/Morse requesting translations of simple strings of Dit's and Dah's such as; - ... . --.- ..- .. -.-. -.- -... .-. etc., are discouraged. With the aid of this Wiki site you can find the solution to short strings of Morse characters.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morse_code

For long strings of Morse characters use this website to translate;

Note; the above website only works with text based characters, photographs or screenshots of Morse will not work. Use this Morse string to practice getting the website to translate for you;

Looking for simple PC program

Hey, I am trying to learn Morse code. I have a trainer device and a keyer, but this device is missing the one feature that I feel that I should really be starting out with: the ability to just choose a character and listen to it repeatedly in Morse.

I have tried looking around different software for PC but haven't found anything that just does this simple function.

Starter Bug Kit recommendations

Looking for suggestions. I want to learn double paddle, and I’m looking for recommendations for a decent, but not too expensive, paddle that can interface with a computer (e.g., USB) and/or a code trainer box. Something portable would be ideal.

Morse "grammar"?

TL;DR – New to morse, in general. I suspect morse might not actually use much English grammar or vocabulary. Where can I learn morse syntax and common code symbols for everyday conversation?

 

As far as I'm reading, 20wpm is normal for sending – for listening, 50wpm and up.

I've browsed some for abbreviations, but have found only regulatory codes (K, KN, AA, CL, DE, etc.) but nothing systematic about the most common English words or collocations (the, be, to, a, and, of, in, ...).

Spelling everything out seems like sign language with just the alphabet.

How does morse communication achieve normal information rates with so few words per minute?

My friend and I are wondering how to use this medium for effective communication, but are unsure of the most "morsy" way of doing so.

My suspicion is that morse might not actually use a lot of English grammar or vocabulary in practice. Is that the case?

If so, where can I find sentence structure and short forms for everyday conversation?

I Think There’s Morse in the Way the Ghost is Flashing?

I’m not good at Morse, but the way the ghost is flashing seems to be more than just random. Anyone want to help me figure it out?

Help with a morse code in a song

I've been trying to decode this every few years but haven't really cracked it (album came out in 2009).

The morse code is right at the beginning (panned mostly to the left channel) and also repeats near the end of the song at 04:19 (panned mostly to the right channel). Same code both times.

I'm getting: .. -... ..- .-. ... -.. .- -. -.. -.-- .- .- .- Which would be ibursdandyaaa and that makes no sense. I tried it backwards and got nnnquanusrdvi.

Spelling "Welcome" or "Nowhere" doesn't seem to match the code either. "Nowhere" backwards is kind of close but not quite.

Can anyone make any sense of this? I am very much not good with morse code so my interpretation might be way off.
