In Russian, there are vowels that sound short - this is E and And. And there are those who have a long sound - this is BUT, O, S. A good chant should use short and long vowels instead of dots and dashes, respectively. So for the letter H, a good melody would be “chi-mi-chi-te”, and a bad one would be “ho-lo-cha-ki”. For the letter C, a good tune would be “si-ne-e”, and a bad one would be “sa-mo-let”. Incorrect use of long and short vowels does not contribute to rapid learning, although it may not affect the speed and quality of reception. The consonants that make up the tune, as well as the stress, do not play a special role, so the choice of specific words for the tune is a matter of the student's personal preferences. The number of syllables in the "chant" must correspond to the number of Morse characters in the letter.

How does the chant learning method work?

The tunes during the study of the Morse code are literally driven into memory - so that it is almost impossible to forget them. Having repeatedly repeated to himself and aloud this same “u-nes-looo”, the student fixes the association with the letter At, similarly is done with other signs. And when he later hears a Morse code, it “decomposes” in his mind into separate tunes, and those, in turn, are rigidly associated with specific letters and numbers. Beginners usually immediately write down the caught sign, and read the received message after the end of the reception, looking at the paper. Experienced telegraphists are able to receive transmission by ear, isolate and record only the necessary data.

The melodies are taught “by ear”. Having named the chant of the next letter, the instructor listens to the sound of the corresponding Morse sign, then combines the sound with the pronunciation of the chant. Then the chant is pronounced simultaneously with the transmission of the sign on the key (learning to receive and transmit is often carried out in parallel). Then all these procedures are repeated many times, after some time they are already allowed to listen to the training texts. These texts are supposed to be written down - both for training and for subsequent verification of the quality of the reception.

Melodies are needed for both reception and transmission. A person transmits the text - reads the next word, mentally decomposes it into letters, and, pronouncing their tunes to himself, performs appropriate manipulations with the telegraph key in time with them.

Isn't it easier to remember the combination and number of dots-dashes?

Remembering the combination and number of elementary parcels for each sign is quite feasible, BUT is a dot-dash, B- dash-three-dot, etc. But you will not be able to achieve a coherent transmission, and even more so a high-quality reception. The usual speed in amateur radio practice is from 70 to 110 characters per minute, but a person does not have time in 0.5 - 0.9 seconds while the sign sounds, count the elementary parcels that make up the sign, and compare the number of dots and dashes with one character out of 50 codes Morse. Learn tunes - it's guaranteed to be more reliable!

Arguments against the method of teaching by tunes!

• If you learn Morse code by tunes (lu-na-tee-ki), then it is difficult to understand the meaning of the received text on the go, and if you learn by musical sound (taa-taa-ti-ti), then the words themselves gather in your head.
• If you teach by tunes, then when you write down the text and start reading it with a side glance, you immediately get confused at the reception. For those who taught by sound, there is no such effect.
• In the army he taught Morse code by tunes. I remember the rule: when you take Morse code, you can think about anything - about women, about demobilization ... but not the text that you accept on record. This is where the crash and error occurs. It's strange, of course, but it's true.
• I taught by tunes, but after I overcame the reception rate of 100 c/min, the tunes themselves “fell off”, I began to take them by sound.
• After 5 years of telegraph work, all these tunes have disappeared by themselves, work is being done “on the machine”. The chain: the ear-hand works without controlled brain analysis... When receiving, there are no longer tunes in the head, but “ready-made” letters.
• Over time, the tunes simply transformed into musical signs. For example, the number 4 (che-twe-ri-te-kaa) is already heard simply as the tone “ti-ti-ti-ti-ta”. Other letters and numbers are similar, I don’t remember the tunes at all.

So, if you decide to learn Morse code by tunes, below are the international and Russian Morse code codes. The tunes recommended for memorization are highlighted in bold, you can come up with your own tune, or choose from among the listed alternative ones. Read about how and in what sequence to learn the alphabet in the corresponding section of our website.

Please note that the Morse codes of some characters in the Russian and international systems differ significantly (period, comma, exclamation point, brackets).
For example, what we think of as a “comma” corresponds to a “dot” in the international code. And the “comma” in the international code is transmitted in the same way as we transmit the “exclamation point”.

First, learn the international version (26 letters) in Russian tunes, then all the numbers, then the missing Russian letters and punctuation marks. Use one or another option when transmitting signs, depending on who you are communicating with - with a Russian-speaking, or a foreigner.

Morse code was developed in 1844 by Samuel F. B. Morse. More than 160 years have passed, and this type of messaging is still used, especially by beginner radio amateurs. Morse code can be quickly transmitted using the telegraph, and it is also very convenient for transmitting a distress signal (SOS signal) using a radio, mirror or flashlight. This method can be used even by people with limited communication capabilities. But learning Morse code is not so easy - you have to try the same way as when learning any new language.

Steps

Listen carefully to slow Morse code recordings. You are essentially listening to long and short signals (lines and dots, respectively). Long signals sound 3 times longer than short ones. Each letter is separated from the others by a small pause, and the words from each other are longer (also 3 times).

• You can look for or buy records in Morse code, or use a shortwave transmitter and try to listen to them live. There are educational computer programs that are usually not expensive or even free. They are more effective for practice than notes, as they can be used to translate any text into Morse code, which will prevent memorization of one text and help you choose the learning method that is right for you. Never count long and short signals - learn how each letter sounds. If you're using the Farnsworth app, you can set the pause between letters to sound slower than the speed of the letter itself. Choose a letter playback speed slightly higher than what you are equal to, and never reduce it - only reduce the pause between letters. In this way, Morse code is studied - at a speed of 15-25 words per minute or more. The following methods are good when you learn Morse code without expecting to use more than five words per minute, they will force you to discard the wrong ways of learning code and start over.

1. Find a copy of the Morse code (such as shown at the bottom of the page). You can use a basic table like the one shown on the right (click to enlarge) or you can use a more complex one that includes punctuation, abbreviations, set expressions, and codes. Match what you heard with the letters of the alphabet. What word came out? Were you right? Some people find it easier to learn Morse code by writing down dots and lines and then comparing them to a table, as shown in the picture; others believe that this method only slows down the learning process. Do as you please. If you choose a method that does not involve transcription of the recorded dots and lines, then you can use a pronunciation table that contains the sounds of Morse code signals, the way you hear them.

   Speak. Practice translating simple words and sentences into Morse code. At first, you can write down the word, then voice it, but over time, you should try to pronounce the word right away. Take, for example, the English word "cat". Write it down: -.-. .- - then say the word (you can use the buttons on your mobile phone or say it with your voice - this is the method most likely to help you learn Morse code faster). To pronounce Morse code, you must remember that dit is pronounced with a short "i" and a voiceless "t". Dah is a short sound. In English, the word "cat" is pronounced "dah-dee-dah-dee dee-dah dah". Once you're comfortable, choose a children's book and try to translate it into Morse code without writing down the letters. Record yourself and play the recording afterwards to see how well you did.

   • Don't forget about pauses. Each letter should be separated by pauses equal in length to the voice acting of a dash (that is, three times longer than the sound of a dot). Each word should be surrounded by pauses, the length of the pauses should be about 7 times the length of the dot sound. The better you work out the placement of pauses, the easier it will be to understand your code.

2. Start by memorizing the simplest letters. If we talk about the English alphabet, then the letter T is denoted as “-”, and the letter E is written as “.”. The letter M is written as “- -”, and I - “. .”. Gradually move on to letters that require 3-4 dots or dashes in a row to write. Then start memorizing combinations of dots and lines, from simple to complex. Leave the most difficult combinations to learn last. Luckily, these are the most rarely used letters (in English, these are Q, Y, X, and V), so once you understand the principle of building letters in Morse code, then focus on the most commonly used letters at the beginning. Note that in English the letters E and T have the shortest form, while the letters K, Z, Q, and X have the long form.

   Create associations. For example, “p” - “pee-laa-poo-et, pi-laa-noo-et”. Considering that there is more than one alphabet in the world, and you are reading this article in Russian, then you are most likely interested in associations suitable for symbols of the Russian alphabet. For this reason, we do not provide options for the Latin alphabet in this paragraph. Instead, we advise you to study the article, paying special attention to the mnemonic form of each letter. There are mnemonic codes for memorizing Morse code that were invented many years ago; you can buy them or find them online.

3. Enjoy learning. Want to get your friends to study? Teach them to blink in Morse code. And if, say, a friend takes you on an unfortunate blind date, then you can blink him “SOS”! Use Morse code to encrypt your secret notes, or keep a diary or even tell dirty jokes so that no one but you and your friends will understand them! Send someone a postcard with Morse code. Confess your love in Morse code (it's very romantic). In general, have fun, do what you like using Morse code for this - and you will learn it much faster.

   • Download the Morse code app on your smartphone or download the tutorial - it can be very helpful!
   • Practice! When you have free time, ask a friend or family member to sit with you and listen to you translate the text into Morse code. Give them the table and ask them to decipher your messages. This will not only help you and your assistant understand the code better, but it will also help you identify errors or bad habits that prevent you from transmitting the code correctly, and correct them to prevent mislearning.
   • To indicate that you made a mistake when passing the last word, send 8 points. This will let the receiver of the signal know that the last word can be crossed out.
   • Do not give up! Learning Morse code will not be easy; it is as difficult as learning any new language. It has unfamiliar letters, abbreviations, grammatical styles and many other aspects that need to be explored. Don't be discouraged if you make mistakes, just keep practicing until you're perfect.
   • Listen very carefully. At the beginning of the training, listen to the Morse code messages at a slow speed until you get used to it.
   • Learning Morse Code Can Be Easy if you are using the right tools. Print and laminate the table below and put it in your wallet. You will remember the code faster, as the plate will be at your fingertips all the time. Read the table from top to bottom. White is a dot, color is a dash. Start with the Latin letters E and T, which are dots and dashes. Going down, read each line. So V is ". . . -”. Good luck.
   • You should not rely on the image, for you cannot train the ears with the help of sight. Don't learn slower methods, or you'll have to relearn when you need to learn to work faster. Your goal is to instantly recognize letters and then whole words, not count dots and dashes. Computer programs like Koch and Farnesworth will help you with this.

Learn to listen and transmit morse code. The telegraphic alphabet is formed from various combinations of short and long parcels: dots and dashes. The duration of a dash corresponds to the duration of three dots, the interval between characters in one letter or number is equal to a dot.

The spacing between letters in a word is three dots. The spacing between words is seven dots. The study of the telegraphic alphabet is a matter, although difficult, but quite accessible to everyone.

Learning Morse Code

One way to learn Morse code on your own is with the help of a computer. There are many free programs available on the Internet. For example, CW Code Practice Utility under DOS, CW Master, G4ILO morse generator, GenTexts, SUPER MORSE, Super Morse for Windows, LZ1FW Morse code trainer, Morse Cat, ARAK, Morse trainer, Morser, APAK-CWL, CW Beeper, ADKM and other.

When the telegraph was already mastered, programs such as OXYGEN'99, Ultra High Speed ​​​​CW Trainer were written to increase speed. They can be freely downloaded from the Internet.

The table below shows the tunes for the letters and numbers of the telegraphic alphabet that are worth remembering. Each melody begins with the corresponding letter, syllables with vowels "O" and "A" are sung in a drawl, denoting a long parcel (dash), and all the rest short (dots).

The signs of the telegraph alphabet for letters of the Russian and Latin alphabets, numbers, punctuation marks and service marks are shown in Figures 1-2. Punctuation codes accepted in Russian, which differ from international codes, are shown in Figure 3.

Of course, this is just an example of the tunes. You can use your own, as long as they make you associate with the correct letters. You can record a couple of audio cassettes with Morse code and listen to them yourself at home. Of course, in this case it will be more difficult to study the telegraph, but if you wish, you can achieve everything.

It is easier, having teamed up with a friend, to study together the auditory reception and transmission of the signs of the telegraph alphabet with a key. But it can be done alone. With an independent study of the telegraph alphabet, key transmission and auditory reception are studied simultaneously. We memorize the musical melody of each sign.

After mastering the signs of the telegraph alphabet, the speed of reception and transmission is increased. What is done gradually with systematic training.

There are always many service and amateur radio stations on the air at a slow speed. You can try to receive individual letters of a telegraph transmission from the air, although reception from the air is more difficult than reception from a sound generator or using computer programs.

A shortwave radio amateur needs knowledge of not only Russian, but Latin letters of the alphabet. When you master Morse code, then, when working on the air with the telegraph, make sure that this is a reliable and noise-resistant form of communication.

If there is no computer, then in order to study the telegraph alphabet, you need to have a telegraph key, a head phone and a simple sound generator.

Diagram of a simple sound generator

A simple sound generator circuit can be assembled with just two transistors, as shown in Fig. 4. For ease of manufacture and repetition, a printed circuit board is designed fig. 5. PCB size 32x28mm. Any germanium or silicon transistors with n-p-n conductivity will do.

The circuit (Fig. 4) on transistors with n-p-n conductivity and the circuit (Fig. 6) can later be used as a tone call or for self-control of the telegraph in the transceiver.

If transistors with p-n-p conductivity are used in the circuit (Fig. 4), then you need to change the polarity of the power source. In this embodiment, the "plus" of the power source will be connected to the emitters of transistors VT1, VT2. The printed circuit board remains the same.
