Hopefully the format makes sense: you take turns sending and we see who can copy. It’s better to send slower and more accurately than fast and make a lot of mistakes. We know our message was received when we see a lot of hands go up **Do people really go through the levels? ** Frequently, yes. There are now four, eight-week classes (16 sessions): ...

**Note:**I’m advising a Morse Code (CW) beginner course and wanted to capture my notes, questions that have come up, as well as making updates and corrections. Overview My primary goal and hopes for the course are to help make it fun and encourage you to make CW friends on the air. The CW Academy beginner course structure is thus: Sessions 1-10 are learning the alphabet, numbers, and the slant character. These are roughly in order of difficulty: ...

General advice to get started on single call mode in Morse Runner (Ken Tucker, WF6F, Jim Carson, WT8P): Accuracy is more important than speed. Wait until the sending station is done transmitting before you respond. If you respond over him, immediately hit the escape key to stop. Scoring increases as you go along (see below). If you receive the call correctly, type in the call sign and hit enter. It will fill in the QSO sequence automatically. Listen for an “R,” followed by “599” and, finally, the sequence number. Type that sequence number in, hit enter, and the new one will come almost immediately. ...
