holding me back is learning Morse code for CW.


Do a search on Code Quick. I think the URL is www.codequick2000.com or
something like that. It's a combination audio/visual/tactile system
that teaches you how to copy morse code as if it were words and not
beeps.

Worked great for me, I tried for 29 years and never was able to get anywhere
near 5 wpm. With code quick I was able to pass the 13wpm test and at my
peak copy at 35wpm.

Best $50 I ever spent on the hobby.
