Yet 5wpm will even put me to sleep.

Me too. I can copy 45-50 WPM in my head, but I can't write it down
fast enough for a full complete one minute of copy.

I keep getting these images of you two listening to a ARRL Morse code CD
to fall asleep to, instead of the music most people would use! 8^)



Ahhhhhh! But Mike! To SOME of us it IS music to the ear!

You know, I'm starting to get frustrated again. I can do nearly 20 wpm
listening to NuMorse with headphones and in a quiet room. But the leaast
bit of background noise, or the conditions on the air, and my speed
drops like a rock. I hope I'm not running up against my personal
limitations.



Just keep at it. It probably means you're not quite solid at that speed
yet. Once again you may be expecting too much too soon. FYI, my comfort
zone is 15wpm although I passed the 20. I just don't work it enough to stay
at and be comfortable at 20.
