By the way...one last point that I don't think has been mentioned
(probabaly because it is "obvious?").
You can copy CW much better using headphones than via a speaker. The
faster, the more important.

Tom,
I don't know what to say,
Doug,
I'm glad someone else confirms the weird mental state (I like your
description as Zombie Copy) and yes I am trying to keep this related to
Elecraft so now back to the KXB3080 module build.

Hi all:
Well, before this thread is terminated by the moderatorI really
know what the "military" folks are talking about, even though I never
partook.
One year, I decided that it would be cool to copy using a typewriter,
so I "started over" learning the code in sync with typing. And it I

I came across this same book through the FISTS (www.fists.org) web site.
I found the book very helpful in understanding a good approach to
learning

Right Jim, this strategy works poorly at most everything. Aside from

copying CW as an amateur radio operator is not a perfect art, nor does

One thing I have found that works well once you have the basics down pat is
to practice copying code that you k

Pete and all,
My experience is similar. I spend time consciously working on improving my
speed and then time on the air both for enjoyment of qsos (the main reason) and
for becoming comfortable at that speed (the lesser reason). I seem to plateau
at a given speed for a few months and the qso'ing

There may be value in going back to the way many of us learned in the middle
of the last century. Start at whatever speed allows you to hear the elements
- 1 or 2 WPM if needed - and learn A, B, C, and so on, even if you have to
count dits and dahs. It's fun to group letters to make little words a
