Mark, You are almost exactly where I am. I have run the traps on where to go next. I found LCWO.net <http://lcwo.net/> and there is a very good YouTube video regarding this. I am working on my third letter. It will take some time, perhaps as much as 4-6 months for me to finish my ear training at about 20 wpm, after which I plan to practice training. However, I am not really sure when I should begin sending training with others.
John K5LKJ (The Stir Crazy Net, daily at noon, 146.940) is getting together a list to go forward with a CW training group. So, I recommend training with the LCWO online utility, and we should both put our names in for John’s group going forward. Frankly, I don’t know how we get so many disparate folks moving in sync. None-the-less, there has been a lot of chatter about this of late. Uncanny how close you and are in our journeys.
