Koch methodology to study Morse
Koch methodology to study Morse
The Koch methodology is predicated on exposing the coed to full-speed Morse from day one.
The primary lesson begins with simply two characters, performed in full pace. The coed
should “copy” them (i.e. writing them down or typing them, like on this web page). As soon as 90% of the
characters are accurately “copied”, the coed can go transfer to the subsequent lesson, the place only one
extra character is added.

The Morse parameters are recommendations that occurred to work nicely for me. You’ll be able to play
with parameters on this web page or within the Web Morse player.
After lesson 39, there are two “post-training” or upkeep classes that you should use
to attempt completely different speeds, or simply to not overlook the Morse code. The choice “Publish-training: all chars”
creates a lesson with all doable characters guaranteedly included, similar to lesson 39.
The choice “Publish-training: largely letters” reduces the frequency of punctuation and numeric symbols to
higher symbolize the real-world frequency of characters.
The Farnsworth compression is yet one more characteristic to help Morse studying. The default
parameters are 8 phrases per minute (WPM) and 20 Farns, which means that characters will
“sound” like 20 WPM the inter-character spacing is elevated so the efficient fee
is 8 WPM. In case you can solely “copy” in 8 WPM (as a result of you possibly can’t sort or write quick sufficient)
however can distinguish by ear in greater speeds, the Farnsworth compression helps to
“practice the ear” with greater speeds.
Studying morse in a sluggish fee like 5 WPM and
with out Farnsworth compression is taken into account dangerous as a result of the coed may have a
arduous time later to get used to greater speeds. She would in all probability must re-train at
6 WPM, 7 WPM, and so forth till reaching a helpful pace within the 20-35 WPM vary.
