Morse Practice - Tongue Twisters - 15WPM
Practice your Morse Code copy with Tongue Twisters. These sentences offer lots of alliteration, so you get the chance to copy words starting with similar letter groups. Repetition of common letter groups will help build a good foundation for Morse Code copy.
In this video I am trying a new method for generating the sounds with text. It sounds better to me than my previous methods of capturing the tones with the text. I'd appreciate feedback on the new mechanism.

Begali Intrepid Bug vs Vibroplex Standard Deluxe Bug
Просмотров 6 тыс.Год назад
This video compares a Begali Intrepid Bug in use, next to a new model Vibroplex Standard Deluxe Bug. Both Morse Code bugs do a great job of automatically forming DITS while allowing the operator control over the shape and style of sent code. These fully mechanical keys do not require an electronic keyer to form morse code characters. While I've made some tongue in cheek comments likening the In...
Vibroplex Bug Practice using a Morse Code Reader

It's often helpful to use a Morse Code Reader to provide a critical ear for how well you are sending on your Bug, Straight Key or even Paddles. In this video we look at using Morse Expert to show me my problem areas when using my Vibroplex Bug. Regarding the Morse Expert App used in video: I don't necessarily recommend this decoder over other decoders but it works well enough to show you troubl...

Part 2 -Yaesu FT-DX10 XF-130CN 300Hz filter compared to 500Hz
Просмотров 1,9 тыс.Год назад
A re-do of my earlier comparison of the optional Yaesu XF-130CN filter made for the Amatuer Yaesu FT-DX10 radio. We look at the performance of the 300Hz filter compared to the included, standard 500Hz crystal filter. In this test I use 2 outboard tranceivers to represent the weak and strong signals, and subject the weak signal to a nearby 40dB over S9 interfering signal. I also take a brief loo...

AN/GRC-9 aka "Angry Nine" Military Field Radio
Просмотров 11 тыс.3 года назад
The AN/GRC-9 is a set of components primarily comprised of the RT-77/GRC-9 receiver-transmitter, capable of operating between 2-12 MHz in CW, MCW and AM modes. MCW is a modulated form of CW that can be received by radios that do not have a BFO (i.e. a normal AM receiver). It is a mid to late 1940's design and was first documented field use in the Korean War, and was in active use through the Vi...

    Old video, but current issue. I learned on a $5.99 Radio Shack straight key. Years later I picked up a side paddle keyer and got used to it. Then came the shocker... after using the side key for a long time I found that I was completely unable to use a straight key again! Strange... no matter how accustomed I am to a straight key I can switch right over to a side paddle key without the slightest re-training of the mind and hand. But, the process will not work in reverse.

    I first came across the sideswiper on a Russian ship in the 70s. I found it very useful for sending number groups, as in OBS (weather report) messages. I also wondered why Russian radio operators were so much better, faster and clearer, than most of us. Reduces the likelyhood of Carpel Tunnel syndrome/CTS/Glass arm, or W@nker's Cramp, if you prefer. I liberated it and have it at home. Transition from standard to sideswiper took an hour or two. What amazes me is that in 3 years in Radio College, it was never mentioned. Good video. Thanks.

      Most transceivers have a built-in electronic "keyer". If you are looking for a recommended key, I personally like a Junker for a straight key and Vibroplex Vibrokeyer for a paddle.

  • @mnpd3
    @mnpd3 2 месяца назад

    I recognize the all-black William Nye straight key on the right... I have two of them. Probably the best commercial straight key. The weight is built into the key so it doesn't slide around or need a separate weighted plate. Its a peculiar designed though is that the contacts are closed by a plunger that passes through the key body. But it works with the best of the straights.

  • @mnpd3
    @mnpd3 2 месяца назад

    I've always preferred to use a straight key... that's just me. I also have a number of side-paddle keys, both mechanical and electronic which I enjoy using too, but I'm loath to hook them up to a transmitter. For some reason after I've used a side-paddle for a while, I no longer can send using a straight key and have to learn all over again. It's odd - I can switch from a straight key to a side key without missing a beat, but once I've been on the sidewinder for a while I play hell trying to readjust to straight key telegraphy.

  • @radiorelayinternational4687
    @radiorelayinternational4687 2 месяца назад

    The first step, before modifying the bug, is to make sure the bug is adjusted properly and manipulated correctly. Proper adjustment and manipulation will cure most problems with "split dots" or other artifacts when transmitting. Proper adjustment and manipulation will also help one develop a good, readable "fist" with proper ratio and spacing. This video may be helpful: ruclips.net/video/qekmyx31Uxw/видео.html

    Great video! I love CW but can't stand it when an operator runs all his letters together. Instead of a QSO I'm presented with a puzzle to put together on my end and that's not a good QSO to have. Worse yet, some of these guys try to pass off their sloppy sending as their style or "unique" fist. Nonsense, bad is bad. When you come across these guys, just don't work them or if they start doing this during the QSO tell them they are running their characters together. No harm in that.

    @johnc3403 3 месяца назад

    The real advantage of the 300Hz filter is that it an interfering signal won't have as much effect on the AGC. The DSP is after the AGC when co-signal blocking has already happened. Admittedly, this is less obvious in these hybrid rigs but even so, AGC blocking is the real issue. Also, astute use of the shift control can serve to put the interfering signal deeper into the skirt. I use a combination of R.Fil, DSP, Shift and APF to eek the best out of a signal on a crowded band. ..not a big fan of DSP NR though, even at level 1.

  • @tony2wheelz408
    @tony2wheelz408 3 месяца назад

    Learning is challenging and I wish I could space out the letters so apparently it’s easy to learn how to fast speed rate or words per minute rate like 15 to 20 but unless you have time in between the letters, I’m usually dropping the rate down to 25%, which is about five words a minute, so I’m getting it all of itbut I think it might be dwarfing the ability to learn so I guess fast rate with more time in between letters would be a really functional learning tool. I just have to learn how to finagle that in another tool. Thanks for putting these putting these out thanks for putting these.

  • @MTSOTAHiker
    @MTSOTAHiker 3 месяца назад

    Nice video. I have noticed that the dit-space ratio (dwell) is affected by L1 (Dit Contact), L3 (Dit Bar Excursion) and L4 (Dit Weight Fine-Tuning). In practice, I have been setting L3 to get just enough "throw" for reliable operation (about 1 mm at the end of the dit arm for me), then using L1 (or L4) to adjust the dwell. I have found that L4 also influences the speed (in addition to dwell) and can require resetting R4 (damper), as such - I don't use it much. As an experiment, I found that moving the pendulum weights varied the speed between 18 & 34 wpm with L4 "out", and between 13 & 25 wpm with L4 "in". I suspect the speed ranges may be different for alternate settings of L3 - I don't fiddle with L3 on a routine basis. I have lately been operating with L4 "out", using the pendulum weights to adjust speed, and using L1 to adjust the dwell. I would be interested to know how other people use L4 - there may be some nuance with it because it essentially counterbalances the spring in L1.
