Introduction
Welcome to CW Academy’s Advanced course. Before you take note of the homework assignments below, you should understand how we expect you to practice during the eight week course.
Your course is divided into 16 sessions corresponding to a twice weekly on-line meeting with your advisor. You are expected to practice the assignment for session 1, for example, before on -line session 1, so that the advisor can assess your progress and any problems. So, you practice the session 1 assignments, for the days preceding session 1, and then practice the session 2 assignment, for the days preceding session 2, and so on.
Most vital to the learning process is your personal practice between sessions. The sessions are for coaching purposes, therefore, your disciplined approach to practice is a must.
There are a number of key tools we use to ensure your success in this course.
One is Zoom, SKYPE or other type of conferencing software, which enables us to meet in a virtual training room two times per week for approximately an hour, on-line. We can see and hear each other and can hear any code being sent. Your advisor will discuss this with you before your sessions start.
A second tool is the use of Practice Audio Files (headcopy-oriented) that you can download from the CWops Advanced Practice Files . These help build head copy skill . These are meant to be listened to and copied in one’s head.
A third tool will be special assignments that emphasize areas we are working on each week. These will be assigned by your Advisor.
An optional tool is the weekly CWT on-air events managed by CWops. These occur each Wednesday at 1300 UTC, 1900 UTC, Thursday 0300 UTC and 0700 UTC . Each one is an hour long and provides a great opportunity to practice and learn contesting techniques.
In essence, then, Advanced focuses on two popular areas of CW in ham radio – contesting and ragchewing. In contesting, callsign copy and entry is a critical skill, so Morse Runner, RufzXP, and CWT will provide a lot of practice. In ragchewing at speeds over 20 wpm, writing what you copy will quickly limit you. Learning to copy and retain information without writing is a critical skill, too. In Advanced you will be doing both.
Equally important to copy skills is sending skills. Your advisor will provide you with exercises to emphasize good sending techniques and proficiency.
When you meet twice weekly with your advisor, he or she will be assessing how you are doing using interactive exercises and other means. The idea is to provide you with feedback that will help you overcome any barriers you encounter.
As with all our CW Academy courses your success is intimately tied to your daily practice. We hope you enjoy the course and achieve noteworthy improvements in all aspects of your CW skills.
Preliminary
Preparation
The assignments that follow are based on a Monday/Thursday on-line schedule.
All documents and applications referenced below can be downloaded from the “CWA Student Resources” area under “CW Academy” on the CW Academy website.
There are essentially six types of files used for practicing head-copy skills. They are all accessed by selecting “Advanced Practice Files” from the CWA Student Resources area.
The First type of files are designated as “Advanced Short Word Files”. These Short WORD Practice Files each have a unique name (such as WD 101) and are available at speeds of 20, 25 and 30 words per minute.
The Second type of files are designated as “Advanced Short Phrases Files”. These Short Phrase Files each have a unique name (such as QSO 301) and are available at speeds of 20, 25, 30, and 35 words per minute.
The Third type of files are designated as “Advanced Short QSO Files”. These Short Practice Files each have a unique name (such as QSO 101) and are available at speeds of 20, 25, 30, and 35 words per minute.
The Fourth type of files are designated as “Advanced Short POTA Files”. These Short POTA Practice Files each have a unique name (such as POTA 101) and are available at speeds of 20, 25, 30 and 35 words per minute.
The Fifth type of files are designated as “Advanced Suffix Practice Files”. There are six types of Suffix files
(ED, ES, ING and LY) These Suffix Practice Files each have a unique name (such as ING4, or ED7) and are available at speeds of 20, 25, 30 and 35 words per minute.
The Sixth type of files are designated as “Advanced Prefix Practice Files”. There are four types of Prefix files, DIS, IM, IN, IR, RE and UN). These Prefix Practice Files each have a unique name (such as RE4, or UN7) and are available at speeds of 20, 25, 30 and 35 words per minute.
Regardless of the type of Practice File, all copy should be done as headcopy (no writing or typing) other than jotting down notes where indicated. This is essential to building copy proficiency.
Other
Optional Tools
Two other tools are Morse Runner and RufzXP. These are used to build up your speed and proficiency in copying call signs. Morse Runner also provides practice copying serial numbers. In both cases, you use the application and enter information via keyboard. This will allow you to become proficient at using contest logging programs should you be interested in learning or improving your contesting skills.
Both RufzXP and
Morse Runner allow you to set speeds. Your assignments will be described along
with mode and speed settings. Your advisor will go over how to use them prior
to the sessions beginning. In both cases, you
use the application and enter information via keyboard.
