It's pretty much the same answer as the old line, "How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, practice, practice!" Once you have a license, that boils down to active, on the air operating. Contesting is great -- it will force you to copy calls. So is rag chewing. Don't worry if you miss stuff, just keep at it. Writing it down doesn't hurt either, and neither does simply keeping a receiver on and listening to other folks rag chewing. Pick out good fists that are a bit above your comfortable speed. Don't waste your energy on sloppy fists -- they will drive you nuts.
