Well it is not a test in the true sense of the word as the tutor will send
between 20 and 30 characters at a speed and spacing chosen by you, the candidate,
following discussion with you. Below is a picture taken after a successful
appreciation. The persons seated are the candidates, behind and to the right
is the Lead Tutor and to the left is the "examiner". All look happy and the
appreciation was a good experience for all. So don't worry about it.
During the first evening of appreciation held at the Brats Club, Jan 2002,
8 out of 8 candidates were successful and one candidate remarked "This morse
thing is quite interesting - can I use the morse key some more". He did and
continued to send away to himself for nearly 30 minutes. So is morse
dead ??? May be not !!!!
RECEIVING
You will be allowed access to a copy of the morse code alphabet and numbers
during the assessment. Further you may if you wish to write down the dots
and dashes for subsequent transcription and you may proceed one letter
at a time.
The tutor may re-read characters wrongly recorded or invite you to recheck
characters correctly written in morse but wrongly transcribed. No residual
error as permitted. |
