The CW Way of Life

Learning, Living, and Loving Morse Code (in a Digital World)


By Chris Rutkowski, NW6V

Written by the well-known Morse Code enthusiast Chris Rutkowski, NW6V this book The CW Way of Life is a revelation for anyone who is trying to learn the code. Chris explains the techniques for familiarising yourself with the dits and dahs of Morse Code along with a fascinating guide to CW (Continuous Wave) from a unique personal perspective.

The CW Way of Life provides a complete, self-contained Morse code learning system that requires no computers or special equipment. It combines techniques dating back to the time of Morse with modern deliberate training principles to create a guide like no other. Broken into nine chapters The CW Way of Life takes the reader on a journey from the theory, the learning, the key and the user before moving onto the code talking, reading and writing, the code itself, the 'lingo' and finally advanced keying. Every step is dealt with in detail and you will find those practical steps combined with practice drills that really bring the code to life. Chris also provides anecdotes about his life with Morse and shows just how consuming this fascinating skill can become. This book is more than a Morse 'how-to' book it is a deep dive into how it works and how you work when you study it.

Nothing beats practice when it comes to learning Morse Code but The CW Way of Life is there to provide the inspiration to do just that. This book is an easy read that is designed to encourage you to take up Morse code and perhaps adopt a 'CW way of life'.
