As a Morse instructor I can't confirm that more intelligent people
learn CW faster or easier. But CW decidedly is not for the Instant
Gratification Crowd. Determination and endurance are valuable assets
when learning Morse.

I don't know about "faster" or "easier". But I have experienced in
over
45 years of teaching, that those with the will and determination to
learn the code succeed. Those who do not don't learn.

I've always been willing to help those who are willing to spend the
time
and effort. However, there is no way I can be a substitute for it.

I tried to teach GM1FLQ once but he didn't respond...he said he wasn't
musical ??? ....any excuse

Not musical?

and the follow-ons.

When I wsa a kid, I had a record titled "CQ Serenade". It was an actual
song, put together by a ham or two in the music business. I guess it was
kind of big band, but it actually incorporated CW. I can't remember if
they lyrics referenced amateur radio or not.

I can't even remember how I got the record, I think someone had a bunch of
them from when the record was "hot".
