50 WPM Morse Code (CW) with a Begali Scultpure

That's fast! i'm just starting out and i can only get a few letters out of all of that! :) as the say 'practice, practice, practice' gj

looks good and would impress but can't really see the point when most enthusiasts would struggle to receive.

why so serious?

Take a break go play digi modes or dxing

Morse had his own version of true morse code.
Real Morse code was just a number of dits sent. Then you had to look up the number in a book to find the word, that was Morse code. Vail worked for Morse for free, Vail used his own equipment, and invented the code a variation of which we uce today. Vail gave Morse all his equipment and the code to Morse. Morse applied for the patent using Vails equipment and code. Since Morse's name was on the patent it became Morse code.

Just did some research of my own, and can understand your remark about Morse and Vail better.

Could you explain why it's not Morse code? And what do you mean about it all being a lie?

it's not Morse code and it's not CW. If it was morse code you would need a huge book to look up all the words, it's Vail code. It's not CW, that's continuous wave, it would have to be on all the time continuously. So its on and off keying, not CW.
No wonder nobody wants to learn the code it's all a lie.
5 stars from me great vblog

1) The text consists of 250 characters and it was transmitted in 1 minute 18 seconds. It means the speed is not 50W (250 ch/m), but 38W (192 ch/minute. The problems are big spacing between the charachters and mistakes.

2) Anyway it's a very good result.

3) The Begali Paddles are among the best paddles in the world today.

The guy who said there weren't many mistakes ? wrong... LOTS of them ... the very first character he sends number 5 and it should be an H ... 5OW TO ADJUS THE SCULPTURE ... he left off the T in 'adjust', and the P in sculpture is poorly formed, more like a WE ... yes, I cheated and slowed it down ... like I said, I can't do 50 ... but slowed down to 35 and in spite of the spacing issues, it's very admirable sending ...

Very good!

It's a known fact that learning Morse Code stimulates your brain, especially at 50 WPM. RTTY and SITOR requires complicated equipment to use it whereas Morse Code can be sent by touching two wires together. Why not give it a try?

Nice keying. I own the Begali Graciela and it does wonders for me especially during contests at 30 to 40 WPM. Morse Code is the best mode of communicating there is. In fact, many are hoping to convice the FCC into going back to Morse Code testing requirements. Only the ARRL wanted the code gone so they could make more money from newcomers as they passed their easy to remember tests.

I see so many comments about how this man is showing off, how a person can get better throughput on RTTY etc. What is wrong with CW? Good grief, folks don't be so narrow. Give him a break. I would love to own Begali paddles, I have heard nothing but good about them. Back to some of the nasty-grams... if you enjoy other modes go for it, just don't knock the person that likes to do finger talkin' no matter if it is QRQ or QRS.

First of all let me thank you by stopping by this video and for all your opinions, both positive and negative.
CW is a very complex form of art, which spans from QRS with a vertical key to QRQ with a paddle, to receiving at ultra-high speeds.
This video is a demonstration of only an aspect of CW, and does not mean that other activities (like QRS) should be disregarded.
I like both operating QRQ and operating QRS with a Sideswiper or a vertical. Relax, it is just an hobby !

I couldn't make any sense of it, because the audio was so loud it all sounded like "bloop bloop."

This video demonstrates poor operating, at it's worst. If you want to move more characters per minute on a radio circuit, use RTTY or SITOR.

50 words per minute is showing off, totally unreadable and would not have been accepted even by russian coast stations. Bring down to no more that 30 or 35 words per minute and you would have been accepted by Portishead Radio GKA whilst the international norm was 25 words per minute. This does not show anyones ability at morse code, just the fact you can use a bug key......try using manual methods and up to 30 words per minute, gka operators could with no mistakes on 500 word messages.....
