Dear All,

Does anyone have any tips for learning Morse using the Kock method? I'm
using
the "CW trainer" program and it's working... kind of.

I am learning at 25wpm. I find I can identify the sounds of the letters no
problem at this speed, so it's working from that point of view.

However, I can't physically write that fast! By the time I get one letter
written another three have gone by. I can "buffer" them a little but even
so
after writing down a few letters I'm hopelessly behind.

It's very discouraging. Any hints?

Cheers,

Andrew

The same way you get to Carnegie Hall - practice, practice, practice.
After a while, instead of recognizing individual characters, you start to
recognize word patterns.
I'll bet you already recognize the rythm or pattern of some words - like the
word "the" - or your name.
or the word "name" the word "is" etc.... it'll be like listening to someone
talk. - where you don't need to write it down.
