I don't remember where I read this and I have not tried the technique but it
sounds reasonable. Have someone else read to you a letter at a time. Start
out at one letter per second then increase the speed. I'm working on copying
CW in my head too, but more enjoying the hobby now than actively working on
the technique. Hopefully it will magically happen someday hi!

Hi to all, sorry this is a bit off topic but I know there are a lot of good
CW ops on this list. I am currently working on CW head copy at around
20wpm. I get most of the smaller words (say up to 5 letters) with no
problem but miss many of the longer ones, I forget the first few letters by
the time I get to the last few. However, the real question is should I
"visualise" the letters (like imagining a typewriter with my eyes shut) or
just sort of recognise the letters in an abstract sort of way leaving the
brain to piece them together in the background so to speak (hard to
describe this bit). I am aware of both methods happening but not sure
whether to force the "visualising" method in case it will slow me down
later on. The "visualising" does help me to get some of the longer words
but maybe it's not good in the long term. The "art and skill of radio
telegraphy" book doesn't seem to offer any pointers here. Maybe it doesn't
matter much either way but your expert opinions would be appreciated.
Thanks
Martin
