For most, the major hurdle to learning Morse Code is receiving and understanding the code, e.g. copy the code. Today I give you a method to start practicing today and four applications, PC, Android or iOS to get started.
I'll be back again soon to talk practicing transmitting Morse Code
Recommended approach:
- Follow the Koch method
- Set character speed to 15-20 words per minute
- Set Farnsworth spacing to 5-10 effective words per minute
- practice at least 15 minutes a day
- Continue to add Koch character pairs to your practice until you recognize the tones.
