[Boatanchors] Relearning Code

[Jim]

You learn CW the same way one gets to Carnegie Hall......
Practice, Practice, Practice..........

I will not opine on learning methods, but make mention of the W1AW code 
practice transmissions.
They are good for learning to copy under "real" radio condx.

Good luck,

Jim

I have not used Morse code in about 45 years.  I never was really very
good at it because I learned the wrong way.  I got my speed up just to
the point where I could just pass the FCC test.    I operated 15M CW for
awhile in the mid 1960's but that was it.

Has anyone had any experience with Morse Fusion as a method to learn
(relearn) code.  As I understand it,  it starts out buy reading a novel
one letter at a time.  You are not supposed to write down anything, but
learn to turn the letters into words in your head. Then progress into
hearing the story in code rather than spoken letters again not writing
down anything.

I would like to use CW again, but don't want to repeat the bad habits of
trying to count dits and dahs and figure out the letter.
