 | Ham University 2.004.05 |  | Ham University - Morse Training and Testing
QST Review by Dan Miller November 2001
Actual Morse code lessons are accessed by clicking on Lessons. You must first put a Lesson Plan together. This is easily accomplished following the directions guided by Morris the Cat an animated cat who assists by describing each function the mouse pointer indicates. My favorite method is the Exercise approach done by copying with the keyboard. What you type is shown in the lower panel. At the end of the exercise, you can compare what you typed with the sent message displayed in the upper panel. Variables that you can manually adjust include speed in words per minute, character speed, message length and word length. In addition to all this, Ham University offers a Morse game called PENTODE. The object is to build a large number of points in a short period of time. These points are received by connecting two or more tiles (the more the better), each containing the same character, as a diode (side by side), triode, tetrode or pentode. Personally, I found the game far less exciting than the speed exercise to copy Morse on the keyboard in the shortest possible time.
Conclusion
Ham University is an excellent tool for anyone wishing to use a computer to study for an Amateur Radio license, regardless of which level they wish to pursue. Of course, my recommendation is to use such a program in conjunction with a class. In the absence of such a class, Ham University provides everything you need to go from ground zero all the way to Amateur Extra in the comfort of your own living room.
I d be remiss in this review if I neglected to mention something else. Displayed at the top of each page of the instruction booklet is a flag of a foreign country. Next to the flag is the appropriate country name, accompanied by its latitude and longitude, CQ Zone number and call sign prefix. This is a very nice touch, adding to the educational and instructional factor of the Ham University program. |

 | Softscanner LIVE 4.0 Full | | Have you ever watched a live breaking news story on CNN and wondered, 'hey, whats really going on there?' Or if you are a news media agency ever wondered why your correspondents are not on the scene before the rival news teams? Softcanner is a 'software radio scanner', it enables you to tune into many interesting frequencies located all over the world, including police, fire, 911 despatch rooms, and air traffic control towers. Hear the breaking stories live as they occur in real-time.
You can even receive LIVE ACARS flight data for any flight you hear! No radio equipment needed!
Using softscanner, you dont need to invest in expensive specialist equipment and antenna arrays. Even with all the specialist equipment and huge antenna or dish arrays, you still couldnt listen to NYPD from say, California for example, because the NYPD's equipment just doesnt have the power or range necessary to push the signal that far.
With SoftScanner you can. Right from your desktop pc or your laptop. With no expensive additional hardware.
This software is aimed at News Agencies, and enthusiasts anywhere and should not be used for illegal purposes or as an aid to criminal or malicious activities. |

 | Code Weaver 1.0.6 | | Code Weaver is a fun and educational program that outputs text files as Morse code. It is supplied with a library of assorted sounds including Morse code at 20 to 100 wpm. The package includes other novelty code sounds such as simulated transmissions from antique spark transmitters and telegraph key sounds. The program is not limited to Morse code, you can add any custom sounds that your PC soundboard is capable of playing. Full instructions for adding your own code sounds are provided in the comprehensive help topics. |

 | NuCode 1.0 | | Learn Morse code as quickly as possible and without gimmicks. The structured course lessons are based on an adaptation of the Koch method. If you can successfully complete the lessons then you are certain to pass the FCC 5 wpm code test. No previous knowledge of Morse code is assumed. You are gently introduced to a few characters in the early lessons. Then you work through to the final lesson at your own pace, adding characters as you go.
Right from the start you practice at a final target speed of 6 WPM with just a few initial characters. Once you have learned to reliably copy this small group of characters a few more characters are added and you again practice until you can copy them all reliably at full speed. This process continues until you know all of the code at full speed! This code learning method was pioneered by the German psychologist Ludwig Koch.
As well as the structured lessons NuCode offers the ability to translate text files into code and will also generate random letters, numbers and punctuation if you need this. A large selection of useful text files is provided as part of the NuCode package as code source materials. A special feature of NuCode is that there is no complicated setting up process to get started. You install the program and immediately start learning code with the first lesson. |
