1. Morse Code Introduction

2. It’s All Timing Basic time unit = Dit. Dah is 3 units long.
Space between bits (dits and dahs) is 1 (one) unit long.
Space between letters is 3 units long.
Space between words is 7 units long.

3. Become an Auditory Learner
ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS think of the sounds dit and dah.
NEVER, NEVER, NEVER visualize dots and dashes (this is the last time … RIGHT?).
NEVER!!!!!!

4. Learning Method
Send characters at faster speed but leave longer spacing between letters to slow down the overall speed.
Your mind is pretty fast and you have a tendency to fill in the “long” pauses between bits with something.
Prepares you for higher speed copy, just shorten the long pauses between characters.

5. Anticipation Conversations are predictable – use context
What letter probably follows YO
What letter probably follows Q
Fill in the following missing letters:
I lo_e t_ sin_ an_ da_ce.
I _ive in Det____, Michig__.
ANTICIPATION helps speed, and speed increases enjoyment of code.
