I have taught Morse Code off and on for 40 years and from total ignorance to 100% success in 8 hours, 2 hours a week for 4 weeks [plus a little home practice. It is practice [work] that makes it successful.] bulls**** or I'd would have a noivice license rough 3 decades ago Some people can learn the code but suffer from "TEST STRESS". They can copy it comfortably in their home or their surroundings; but, when they have to demonstrate that skill in front of a 'WITNESS' who has pass/fail power, they tense up and fail. That's understandable and can be worked with. never could do it alone with any reliablity either Some people are dyslexic. But, they can hear it and talk it out, but can't get it on paper.
