Search the web for CodeQuick. It's a Morse code course that teaches you
to copy code in the language part of your brain instead of the "beep" part.
This has two advantages, one it is independent of speed, so you don't have to
learn 5,13,20,35,etc, you just learn it once and work up your speed.

One of my heros was a MARS station operator in the army.

He sat leaning back in his spring-back chair listening to what I would
call random static. Somewhere in that static was a 60 wpm CW
station that he was listening to as if it was a language, not just CW.

Best I could muster was 40 wpm, on a fairly strong CW signal.


BTW, my books finally arrived, I jumped right in studying for my
extra class exam'.

I have a plan, I am going to start at the top, then work my way
down to novice level. Great Minds are like that.

It should take me at least a 2 months to reclaim my extra class
license, so I will have plenty of time to decide on what kind
of rig to buy.
