Well then Do look at the upgrading to the current general Calass or

even extra, today 5wpm is all you need beside the written test,

have been thinking about upgrading, I'm pretty well versed in radio
theory having a mil background, so would just be the legal and
operating issues to study for that. Was trained in army to copy 8 wpm
(I was a voice intercept op, but we needed to recognise CW to some
extent) and try as I may that's about as good as it gets with me.

Anyway, thanks for the reply, but the question was not geard toward
amateur radio, but what to expect when I crank up the SW set again.
