For each US 4-character (2x1 or 1x2) call sign, try to head-copy it. First, the call sign is sent three times in Morse code. Then it is spoken. And finally, it is sent again in More code. If you missed it the first time it was sent, the second time allows you an opportunity to learn the words. 73 de AD0WE!

These are the most common callsign prefixes for the top 25 DXCC entities. (See below for a detailed explanation.) For each callsign prefix, try to head-copy it and determine which country it belongs to. First, the callsign prefix is sent 3x in Morse code. Then it is spoken. And finally, it is sent again in Morse code. If you missed it the first time it, the second time allows you an opportunity to learn the callsign. Learning to head-copy callsign prefixes is a stepping stone to copying full callsigns. If you learn to copy the prefix as a whole, it will lighten the cognitive load in copying full callsigns. In my experience, learning the country that the prefix belongs to will help even more. Giving the prefix a useful meaning makes it easier to remember. Thank you, Daniel (KK4FOS) at Buckmaster International ( https://hamcall.net/haminfo.html ) for making this possible! So how did I determine which prefixes to use? First, I identified the common DXCC entities by using the DXCC Most Wanted 2019 list, reversing it, and taking the top 25 entities. It is a reasonable assumption that the least wanted DXCC entities are the most frequently heard stations on the air. Next, I needed to determine which prefixes are most commonly issued by the governing body for each DXCC entity. For this, I reached out to Buckmaster International on whether I would be able to download and use their database to determine a list of callsigns for a given DXCC entity. The answer was no, but Daniel immediately provided the information I needed to figure this out. Once I had a list, it was a small matter of writing a couple of short Perl and R scripts to parse, filter, count, and combine data to get the most commonly issued prefixes for a given DXCC entity. I limited the number of prefixes for a given DXCC entity, to at most 10. I further pruned the list so that each prefix had to be more than 10x less than the top prefix for that DXCC entity. Meaning if the top prefix had 10,000 callsigns assigned, the other prefixes within that DXCC had to have at least 1,001 callsigns assigned to it to be kept. The exception to this rule was the United States. 73 de AD0WE!

This practice set is composed of call signs taken from the most active DXCC-100 entities minus those from the United States. (I have separate practice sets for USA Call Signs.)

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. For each USA 1x2 call sign, try to head-copy it. First, the call sign is sent in Morse code. Then it is spoken. And finally, it is sent again in More code.

The credit for this Practice QSO Protocol goes to Jim (W6JIM). It was developed in cooperation with other LICW (Long Island CW Club — https://longislandcwclub.org/ ) advisors and is used extensively in the LICW Demystify QSO classes taught by Jim and Rick (W8KO). This QSO protocol is broken down into the 1. Beginning (RST, QTH, Name), 2. Information (Rig, Antenna, WX), 3. More Information (Ham FER, Age, Occupation), and 4. Ending (pleasantries, 73). For each QSO segment, try to head-copy it. First, the segment 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 it. In terms of practice, it is better to have more frequent and shorter practice sessions over one or two longer practice sessions per week. Ideally, practice sessions should be no more than 15 or 20 minutes long, with two to three sessions per day. This video is long enough that you can keep coming back to it and pick up where you left off. 73 de AD0WE!

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 6-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. If you missed it the first time when it was sent, the second time allows you an opportunity to learn the Word. I wish you all the best on your Morse code journey! 73 de AD0WE!

This practice set is part of a series of practice sets that use contextual priming. The idea behind providing context is that it lessens the cognitive load, mirrors many real-world circumstances, and is an incremental stepping stone to copying without any context. Keep in mind that anticipation is a double-edged sword. It can help when your intuition or guess is correct and make it harder to copy if your intuition is wrong. The idea is to strive to keep an open mind. The context in this practice series isn’t so specific that you are likely to guess the answer without hearing it in Morse Code, but it does orient your thinking to a range of possibilities. For each Word in this practice set, a hint is spoken before the Word is sent in Morse code. Next, the answer is spoken. Finally, the Word 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 what was sent. I wish you all the best on your Morse Code journey! 73 de AD0WE

Keep in mind that anticipation is a double-edged sword. It can help when your intuition or guess is correct and make it harder to copy if your intuition is wrong. The idea is to strive to keep an open mind. The context in this practice series isn’t so specific that you are likely to guess the answer without hearing it in Morse Code, but it does orient your thinking to a range of possibilities. This practice set crosses the signature Morse Code Ninja Speed Racing format with contextual priming in an innovative way. How It Works: 1) Set the Stage: I provide a tantalizing General Hint/Context. 2) Speed Challenge: Morse code sent at 1.3x the base speed - catch it if you can! 3) Extra Help: An Additional Hint/Context to nudge you closer. 4) Steady Learning: Word(s) sent in Morse code at a comfortable base speed. 5) Clear Confirmation: The Word(s) spoken aloud for clarity. 6) Speed Recap: Word(s) sent in Morse code at 1.3x speed again for reinforcement. I wish you all the best on your Morse code journey! 73 de AD0WE!

This practice set is part of a series of practice sets that use contextual priming. The idea behind providing context is that it lessens the cognitive load, mirrors many real-world circumstances, and is an incremental stepping stone to copying without any context.

The context in this practice series isn’t so specific that you are likely to guess the answer without hearing it in Morse Code, but it does orient your thinking to a range of possibilities. For each Word in this practice set, a hint is spoken before the Word is sent in Morse code. Next, the answer is spoken. Finally, the Word 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 what was sent. I wish you all the best on your Morse Code journey! 73 de AD0WE

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 8-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. If you missed it the first time when it was sent, the second time allows you an opportunity to learn the Word. I wish you all the best on your Morse code journey! 73 de AD0WE!
