The " straight key century club " ( SKCC ) is free to licensed Amateur Radio Operators and has thousands of members ( VK2IAU SKCC member No. 15943 ) . This gives many oportunities for Amateur Radio Operators to make both national & international contacts , so being a licensed Amateur Radio Operator has much scope as a hobby .

( extract from website : In reality, very few operators create "perfect" code manually. Falling short of "textbook" duration and spacing is not necessarily a problem if the code is still easy to copy. It's quite common for experienced CW operators to identify one another by the unique way they send code.)

PLEASE = BE REASONABLY PROFICIENT WITH " practice text 1 " BEFORE PROGRESSING TO " practice text 2 " etc. AS THIS WILL MAXIMISE YOUR PROGRESSION

practice text 1 ( COPY Ctrl C this text and PASTE Ctrl V into the CWCom window )

# REPEAT UNTIL REASONABLY PROFICIENT BEFORE PROGRESSING TO practice text 2 ....... THIS APPLIES TO ALL OF THE PRACTICE TEXT SEQUENCE = KEEP SCROLLING DOWN FOR THE CONTINUATION OF THE PRACTICE TEXTS .

# Now that you have the practice text you need something to practice it with , I suggest a free internet live morse code program called CWCom . Your practice text can be copied ( Ctrl C ) and pasted into CWCom MAIN WINDOW ( Ctrl V )

# ( CW Communcator 1.5 Download (Free) - cwcom.exe )

https://cw-communcator.software.informer.com /1.5/

23 June 2021 — CW Communcator 1.5 ... CWCom is a morse code chat progam for Windows and NT operating systems. You can use it to transmit and receive morse code and text .

DOWNLOAD FROM NEAR THE BOTTOM OF THE WEB PAGE , THE OLIVE GREEN DOWNLOAD BUTTON ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE .

# CWCOM PROGRAM IS IN YOUR P.C. : Program Files (x86 ) AND SHOWS AS " MRX Software "

# WHEN USING CWCom YOUR " Call Sign " CAN BE ANYTHING THAT YOU WISH ie: A SENSIBLE NICKNAME or PART OF AN AMATEUR RADIO CALL SIGN or A FULL AMATEUR RADIO , ( YOU CAN ALSO USED MULTIPLE NAMES TO SELECT FROM )

# CWCom IS OPEN FOR ANYONE TO USE

# CHANNEL 1000 IS THE DEFAULT OPENING CHANNEL , I SUGGEST MOVING TO CHANNEL 100 ONCE YOU HAVE MADE CONTACT ON CHANNEL 1000

Refer to the 3 attached photos of the VK2IAU MOUSE KEYER I use with CWCom ,

The mouse on the left is the KEYER mouse . The mouse on the right holds the mouse arrow on the " black rectangle " top lefthand corner of the CWCom window , refer top photo .

NOTE: Transmit = THE SPEED YOU SET IN Transmit MUST "

APPROXIMATELY " MATCH THE SPEED THAT YO U SEND AT (

ie: Transmit set at 7 wpm must approximately match the transmit speed

that you send when using the VK2iau mouse keyer / mouse /

keyboard down arrow / joystick

( typing or pasting text does NOT need to match the Transmit speed )

MORSE CODE THINKING PRACTICE ( NOT IF YOU ARE DRIVING A VEHICLE ) : THINK THE SOUND OF VEHICLE REGISTRATION PLATES LETTERS & NUMBERS

IF YOU WRITE WITH YOUR RIGHT HAND THEN TX ( SEND ) WITH YOUR LEFT HAND :

TIME WASTING IF YOU NEED TO TAKE YOUR HAND OFF OF THE KEYER TO PICK UP A PENCIL & THEN PUT DOWN THE PENCIL TO HOLD THE KEYER .

YOUR LOCAL AMATEUR RADIO CLUB IS A WEALTH OF INFORMATION and could assist you with the making of a sound oscillator for you to practice TX / RX .

When you send morse by a keyer OR when you type morse into the CWCom window YOU WILL NOT HEAR YOUR TRANSMISSION , the receiving P.C. WILL HEAR YOUR MORSE regardless of the means that you send it . IT TAKES 2 TO TANGO =

UNLESS

YOU HAVE 2 COMPUTERS BOTH CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET WITH CWCom ON BOTH P.C,s = TX ( transmit mode ) on one & RX ( receive mode )

on the other ( ? multi-tasking ? )

# MORSE CODE IS ALSO KNOWN AS CW ( CONTINOUS WAVE ) , BUT FACTUALLY IT IS " INTERRUPTED CONTINOUS WAVE" BECAUSE WTHOUT THE IMPORTANT SILENCE PERIODS IN THE CONTINOUS WAVE THERE COULD BE NO MESSAGE

THE SILENCE PERIODS ARE AS IMPORTANT AS THE SOUND PERIODS

THE MOST USE FRIENDLY FREE PROGRAM I HAVE USED FOR CW LISTENING PRACTICE

IS CALLED NZART TEACH . AND I RECOMMEND IT

PLEASE VISIT THIS WEBSITE ROOM NZART TEACH

# Scroll down for all " practice texts , 1 " TO " practic e text 40 "

THIS IS FOR YOU TO COPY & PASTE ie : TO THE CWCom WINDOW or TO THE NZART TEACH WINDOW

PRACTICE TEXTS , 1 " TO " practice text 40 "

COPY Ctrl C AND PASTE Ctrl V INTO THE CWCom MAIN WINDOW TO SEND THE TEXT AS MORSE SOUND TO THE RECEIVING P.C. ie: YOUR 2nd P.C. or THE RECEIVING P.C. OF THE OTHER STATION

THE FOLLOWING QSL ( contact confirmation ) CARDS ARE ALL " HOME BREW " ( HOME MADE )

( I make mine using the P.C. " Paint Program " or " MS Word " , easy for me , the fancy ones require more complex methods

)

TRANSFERRING QSL CARDS BETWEEN CWCom OPERATORS

# AN EASY WAY IS TO # SENDER Paste ( Ctrl V ) the QSL CARD from MS Word to the CWCom window # RECIPIENT Copy ( Ctrl C ) the QSL CARD from the CWCom window & paste to MS Word " document on desktop ( Note: Colour is lost on the CWCom window )

* VK2John , made the card shown below using MS Word , and uploaded it to Facebook from desktop

Note: Colour is lost on the CWCom window , so if you want colour then use another method of receiving your qsl card , ie: email or Teamtalk etc..

# Hints when making : check for glare on PC screen from lights . windows

NOTE: WORD ART WILL NOT PASTE TO THE CWCom WINDOW , so use other means to transfer ie: Email , TeamTalk , other ???

VK2JOHN MADE THIS CWCom QSL CARD USING " Microsoft Office Word " , SEE BELOW , ( INTENDED AS A MASTER COPY ) . IT WAS EASIER THAN I ANTICIPATED BUT MANY MORE OPTIONS FOR ENTRIES . THE MASTER COPY WOULD BE COPIED MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THE SPECIFIC ENTRIES ( ie: NAMES , CHANNEL , DAY , TIMEz , DATE , COMMENTS ) THE FOLLOWING IS THE PROCEDURE I USED WHEN MAKING THE CARD .

1. SIZE OF CARD = size of the MS Word window POSTCARD dimensions recommended , so limit the amount of information

2. WHEN CARD FINISHED AND SAVED = HIGHLIGHT ALL INFORMATION ON THE CARD & COPY ( Ctrl C ) TO PASTE ( Ctrl V ) TO THE CWCom WINDOW

3 IF MADE WITH PAINT .

# ENTER NAMES , CHANNEL , etc.

# SAVE AS A " JPEG picture "

# SAVE TO DESKTOP AS A " JPEG picture " , NAME IT = CWCom QSL CARD TO ???( EASY TO IDENTIFY )

NOTE: WORD ART WILL NOT PASTE TO THE CWCom WINDOW , so use other means to transfer ie: Email , TeamTalk , other ???
