[hercules-os380] learning morse code

[[e-mail] [hercules-os380]]

I can remember reading somewhere that you
shouldn't learn morse code as dot/dash, and
that you should instead learn it as dih/dah,
because that is the sound you hear on the
radio.

If we're instead talking about vibrations on
the left/right leg, should morse code instead
be learnt as left/right rather than dih/dah
or dot/dash?

Thanks. Paul.

Paul,
As some one who once knew enough Morse code to pass a test, I would say that learning the code as audio would be fine for bursts of vibration on the leg.
There are some practice pages here:-

this is a good program for practice

Ok, thanks.

That link recommended this for starting from scratch:

http://www.g4ilo.com/morse-machine.html

So I downloaded that and was able to do
reasonably well, although I still needed to
look up some sequences in dot/dash form.

That link also confirmed this problem:

"Instead of encouraging you to memorize the dots and dashes for each letter and number - a bad practise that usually results in an inability to receive at faster than about 12wpm"

Also as an aid I have remembered some
mirror images, and your initials are now
in my brain. DW - D is the mirror image of W.

Also LY I remember from "bitly", whatever
that is.

I haven't remembered GU yet.

BFN. Paul.

Also, A and N. :)

Did you know that early airplane radio navigation was based on that? When
you were on course, all you can hear is the steady tone. But off course,
you would either hear an A or an N.

Then they came out with a VOR and you maintain a heading toward and from
the station.

Or any radial to or from, having checked that it is the correct station
by checking the audio output for the morse ID code and that it is within
the declared range including slant.  Not to mention that avionics /
station is within your error limits but there again any IR / CPL
qualified pilot would know these things

I am trying to learn morse code in order to get a radio amateur licence
of Class B in Brazil. I have already a Class C, the equivalent to the
Technician Licence in US.

Looking for training material I have stumbled upon a course in 11
lessons that looked very good to me:

Morse Code Course
