You need to get to about 13 words per minute minimum before you'll always
remember it.

I was running around 50 words per minute when I hung up my guns around 1969.
In 1993, I simply retested with no brush up. Hadn't copied cw since 1969
yet passed 20 words per minute

I agree. Also, the tester said they use the ARRL practice tapes for the exam. So
if you have the tapes, and you can learn the alphabet, you can pick up fairly
quickly which if the practice codes they use. That is what I did. I studied
every night for a month.

They should require CW for CW privilages, at the 13 WPM.
