Hi everybody,

This is my 2nd email but i often read the reflector
and i like to hear your experiences.
I'm too young (28 years) to contribute with my
experience. I haven't yet done a CW QSO. All I
know is theory ;)

I'm trying to learn Morse; well, I know the sound
of all characters but I need instant recognition.
Initially I've learnt all the characters at 20wpm, but i
need to shorten the time between i hear a character
at 20wpm and write down.

Now I'm "re-learning" the characters using the excellent
G4FON's program to build my instant recognition. It
uses the Koch method to teach you the characters, and
I feel it works.

Well, I've read in some emails that says there is
a barrier at 20wpm. I'm worry about this. Maybe
I haven't chose the correct speed to learn.
Do you think I must choose a higher speed?

 adios

P.S.: Excuse me, English isn't my mother tongue.
