LESSONS IN MORSE
(18) The following is a dratt of the eighteenth of the series of Morse signalling lessons for Air Force trainees broadcast from Stations 2YC, 1ZM and 2YC at 10 p.m. on February 17, 18 and 19: HEN listening to Morse stations on your radio receiver, endeavour to pick out a station which is sending slightly faster than you are able to read comfortably. Although you may miss many letters or even groups consisting of two or three words, don’t become disheartened. Just keep at it, and eventually you will find you are able to copy the whole of the transmissions. When you get to this stage, select another station which is sending a little faster, and so on. Practise consistently. Don’t do two hours’ practice to-day and then an hour next Tuesday and call it three hours’ practice for the week. It is much better to spread the three hours’ practice over six daily practices. _ Write legibly, using block letters. Practise writing any letter which you find you are transcribing in an ambiguous or slovenly manner. Remember, someone has to read the messages which you receive, and time must not be wasted in referring doubtful letters back to the receiving operator for amplification.
