I can fully understand the fear of going on the air....  I am somewhat
comfortable at 10wpm, and can do about 50% at 13/14wpm - that is while just
praticing to ARRL or computer generated code.  I can use my paddles and send
pretty good at 15wpm+ - that is with the computer copying my sent code so I
can actually see the spaces and timing is correct.  BUT let me get on the
air in an actual QSO - Boy does my hand shake in sending.  Lucky to send
10wpm without bunches of mistakes!!

I know, it's just more practice and more practice - ON THE AIR!!
