“Learn how to miss fast!” Awesome advice for me to work on. Thank you!

[tubbysailor]

This is a super fun website, especially the callsign practice. Thanks, Guys!

After years of wanting to be fast, I finally did some contests and my copy speed suddenly got much better. I’ve done a few CWT one-hour contests and pretty quickly went from 15 WPM to 25+ WPM.

I really enjoyed this video! Especially the copy practice. I’m currently only at 12-15wpm.

Just watched @K9KJ ‘s 30WPM DX exchange… Crazy enough I was able to pick up about 1/4 of the exchange (I can truly only copy comfortably around 15 WPM)… Pushing myself has been the key

Coming up on 1 year since joining LICW (awesome group of folks, even Evan! JK) I was encouraged by the instructor to start out with POTA contacts because it's an easy protocol. This is so true and because of the simple protocol I can now easily comprehend a POTA QSO at 25wpm due to familiarity of the CW WORDs used in the QSO, I hear each group of letters as one sounding word. Now with words I haven't heard often or at all, I'd be doing well to copy at 15wpm. CW Ninja is what I use daily for words at 20 and 25 wpm. Thanks Kyle, I really enjoy these CW presentations!

I run 40 WPX in contests which is typical of higher scoring contesters. I do slow down if someone sends QRS to whatever they need. Stations running assume you can copy them at their speed if you call. Try QRS PSE if you want them to slow down. K0MD

Re: Evan's comments on computer generated CW at 1:06:31 of the video, Morse Runner ver 1.68 program has several senarios of CW at hz levels other than 600hz, plus static crashes and you can add flutter, lids qsb and qrm to the training sessions. Yes geting on the air is the best! but this program is close to it. I wonder what AI will come up with in the future??

It’s a lot like learning to read. Takes time and mistakes🤷‍♂️

Checked in on the ARRL CW sweepstakes last weekend. How useless. Millions of stations sending/responding at 40 wpm with their auto-keyers. Totally non-human interaction. So now they insult us with “new this year” categories so you can submit logs based on to the complexity of your antenna—plain dipole vs multi-element beam. Greater fairness if you’ve not swamped by competitors with ionosphere-burning antennas. Great. How, for goodness sake, about a category for the most contacts while operating (manually) at NO FASTER THAN 15 words per minute? I continue to slowly improve. But right now, nowhere to go. Even the so-called “Slow Speed Contests are supposedly limited to “no faster than 20 words per minute. Remember when squeezing out the tact from a standard 20 wpm QSO was the pinnacle of CW learning and got you the coveted EXTRA? For goodness sake. TU 73

-2E0HFO-Train Ham I’ve just passed my CWops beginners course last week, my copying is shocking, any basic advice for a total newbie? 😮
