Ham Morse HM_Rx_1.0.1

Ham Morse allows you to practice morse code on your iPhone or iPod Touch. It is designed particularly for Ham radio operators and others who wish to achieve or maintain a high level of proficiency in this classic mode of communication. Ham morse has the following features:

The code is sent using the Farnsworth timing, at speeds at or below 15 words per minute (wpm) the characters are sent at 15wpm with extra space added to slow the overall speed down to the target speed. Above 15 wpm the actual code timing is used. The maximum speed that the morse can be sent at is 50 words per minute.

The code can be paused just in case you are interrupted or want to take a break, an incoming call on an iPhone pauses the code automatically.

You can practice a variety of sets of characters from individual random letters all the way to the current news stories from around the world. The available letters can be customized on the settings page and provide groupings similar to those used in the Koch and Candler methods.

Letters - Practice the letters, A-Z. Add new letters to your practice set using the settings page.

Numbers - Practice the numbers, 0-9. Which numbers you practice can be controlled on the settings page.

Callsigns - allow you to practice receiving random amateur radio callsigns, a mixture of letters and numbers (eg AA9PW, G1SNT) that often prove troublesome when learning the code.

Punctuation - provides a wide variety of punctuation and standard morse code prosigns.

Top 100 and 500 most common words - this is a great way to start to recognize whole words the key to really improving your speed.

RSS news feeds - these provide the opportunity to copy real sentences and keep up with the news at the same time. Note that the RSS feeds will only work with an active network connection.

Ham QSOs - listen to examples of typical on-air exchanges between ham radio operators - practice coping the callsigns, RST reports, location, rig, antenna and many other pieces of a typical QSO.
