And as for your "free time" comment...three one hour sessions & I had 5WPM
down, so did the 7 year old. If your having that much trouble, maybe you
study technics aren't good.


I broke this down once on an email reflector and it convinced someone that I
really DON'T have time to learn CW, as I have suggested. I don't have the time
to sit and break it down like I did before, but here's a summary.

I have an 18 month old son, a wife in school full time who also works, I
volunteer on a local ambulance and I work 40+ hrs a week. Very little time for
consistant studying in order to learn the code. I don't even have time to be a
member in the local radio club.

Besides - why should I bother? CW will be eliminated shortly anyway.
