Slow Code

Wanted to thank you for your posts about the code.

Because of you I just upgraded (Saturday) from technician to general. I
breezed the 5 wpm and am up to around 15wpm according to the W1AW
pratice broadcasts. I never would have bothered to learn CW if it
wasn't for you.

I know I only "need" 5 wpm but I am not going to upgrade to extra until
I can cpy 25 wpm SOLID!

This is in honor of my electronic elmer, Slow Code.

Thanks......

ROFLMAO!

..... And you've made me think of possibly joining CAP.

Testimonials like yours will bring a smile to every Real hams face. :-)

Just learn the code to 22 wpm. That would be a nice edge if you still had
to take a 20 wpm CW test. But if you can only get your speed up to 16 or
17 words per minute, upgrade anyway. We need good people like you on the
ham bands and on usenet. LOL
