Wayne, congratulations! It did not take you long to find the secret. I still listen to W1AW code practice from time to time and I have only been licensed since 1956. It always pays to listen to well sent code from time to time along with the hodge podge of good and not so good code you hear on the air. It is great to be able to copy anybody and it is also great to be able to send so that anybody can copy. Willis 'Cookie' Cooke K5EWJ & Trustee N5BPS, USS Cavalla, USS Stewart

I'm too new to this to know much, but it seems to me that one might best learn to send Morse well by copying a lot of well sent Morse. I only say this because I listened to computer generated Morse for months before I got on the air. When I finally did send, I got compliments right away on my fist. All I was doing, though, is sending the same rhythm I'd been hearing for months. If this was already said, then I apologize for the redundant repetition :) 73, Wayne Conrad KF7QGA ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
