Speed-Racing Top 300 Words 20wpm

The Speed-Racing format is designed to help you improve your speed quickly. It starts fast and then incrementally slows down to a base-speed. The fastest speed is 1.5 times the slowest speed. You may find that you get the most use from this format by identifying the fastest speed you are proficient at and then using a Speed-Racing practice set where that is the slowest speed. You may need to adjust up or down a little to find the practice set that gives you the most efficient practice. The final repeat is sent once at the maximum speed. As long as you know what will be sent in Morse code, you will likely be able to follow along at up to 2x your top speed. If you cannot copy the final repeat, you may need to drop down one speed. This practice set is composed of the Top 300 Words in the English language. For each word, try to head-copy it at the highest speed. First, the word is sent multiple times in Morse code. Then it is spoken. And finally, it is sent again in More code. If you missed it the first time when it was sent, the second time allows you an opportunity to learn the words. 73 de AD0WE!

5 Letter Words - First 3 Letters Given - 20wpm

This series of practice sets are designed to give learners an on-ramp to copying longer words and as an aid in the transition from copying individual characters to copying words. Consider also pushing overall speed to improve ICR (Instant Character Recognition). You may benefit from the Build A Word series of practice sets. For each 5-letter Word, try to head-copy it. First, the first few letters are spoken. Then, the entire Word is sent in Morse code. Next, it is spoken. Finally, it is sent again in More code.

Two Challenging Letter-Number Combinations 20wpm

Each practice trial is made up of a combination of two letters and numbers that are difficult to distinguish from one another — I S H 5 U V 4 D B 6 W J 1 T E. These differ from each other by the number of dits and dahs and are frequently difficult for beginners. For instance, di-dit (I) versus di-di-dit (S). There is a slight pause before the answer is spoken, which is just enough time to say the letters/numbers out loud with ICR (Instant Character Recognition). For each combination, try to head-copy it. First, the combination is sent in Morse code. Then it is spoken. And finally, it is sent again in Morse code. If you missed it the first time when it was sent, the second time allows you an opportunity to learn the words. 73 de AD0WE!

CQ WW DX Contest Exchange - 20wpm

CQ World Wide Contest exchanges were randomly selected to be roughly proportional to recent participation for someone operating from North America. This means that some types of exchanges are much more common than others. If you would like a slightly harder challenge, take a look at the CQ World Wide Contest Encore, which gave each exchange an equal probability of being selected. For each exchange, try to head-copy it. First, the phrase is sent in Morse code. Then it is spoken. And finally, it is sent again in Morse code.

USA Call Sign Prefixes - Repeated 2x - 20wpm

There are a little over 200 call sign prefixes commonly issued in the United States. Ideally, you will learn the callsign prefixes as a single sound pattern, which will help you utilize a memorization technique called chunking. This will make it much easier to head copy longer callsigns. Recognizing the prefix as a single thing reduces the amount you have to hold in your short-term memory. For each callsign prefix, try to head-copy it. First, the prefix is sent twice in Morse code. Then it is spoken. And finally, it is sent again in More code. If you missed it the first time when it was sent, the second time allows you an opportunity to learn the words. 73 de AD0WE!
