If you want to get your code speed up, you're probably best listening in
the ham bands.

Hams don't send perfect code, especially with straight keys (hell, we're
human like anyone else) -- and band conditions aren't necessarily optimum on
there -- QRM, QRS, etc. so if you can pull some signals out of the hash on
there and copy them, you will develop code speed better and faster than if
you listened to W1AW or some mechanical code sending system.
