This over 100 WPM is better than I have ever been able to do. To that end, I have a cert for 45 WPM from some time back and though I don't own that speed today, I can copy at that speed, it's just my brain lags and it didn't use to.
The last Stew Perry contest, I realized my bottleneck was typing in the grid square, I'd have to memorize each report and then hen-peck the data into the keyboard which I have to use 4 fingers to do (long story). I came to understand what I needed to do was not remember the call and type before replying, I need to listen to the call, it's 100% in my head then, but then hit the N1MM reply for report, and while it's sending the data, then input the data in my head into N1MM. I cannot hear and type at the same time, but I can copy most everything sent in clean CW, regardless of reasonable speed. I admire those that can sight read music at tempo, it's the same as hearing CW and transcribing it at the same time. Mandatory Elecraft content, I have paid for a K4D and will be happy when I get it, time waiting till then is irrelevant. Happy New Year to all! 73, Gary KA1J ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected]
