Title: K6RAU Morse Code Course for Beginners
Post by: K6RAU on February 20, 2023, 04:21:33 AM

The K6RAU beginners code course for those not knowing
a dit from a dah is available at the following url links:

                 https://k6rau.podomatic.com

                 https://www.youtube.com/@k6rau577

The course first introduces the individual to learn code by sound
and progresses in 12 lessons to five words per minute.

A lesson is about 30 minutes and recommendation is to listen to
each twice before moving on to the next one.

At the time the code course was produced and recorded, the alphabet
of 'Able, Baker, Charlie', etc., were still common phonetics being used
within amateur radio before the now current 'Delta, Echo, Foxtrot', etc...

Thanks for posting this.  I was trying some of the other available online programs and apps and they were really kicking my butt trying to learn the code sounds while keeping up with the 20wmp rates.  I tried the K6RAU online program and it all seems to be coming together.  I like the way he approaches teaching the letters (by sound) in a easy to follow repeating manner.  I'm going to use this program as the base for learning code then move to the other programs to build my speed.
