[CW] Computer Programs to Learn CW

[Jay Eimer]

I concur.  Download the free G4FON program.  It's slowest character
speed is 15WPM.  Set the inter=word space to 7 or 9wpm, and give it a
try.  If you have problems, turn all but a couple of the characters off.
Then turn them on one or two at a time when you reach 90% copy.  When
you are 90% with the full character set, bump the speed up by shortening
the inter-word space until 15WPM really is 15WPM.

When you get there, start over - but with 20WPM characters, and add the
spaces back to bring it down to 15 overall.

I recommend you use the Koch Method (discussed by Finley) to jump right
to your target speed.  Download Ray Goff's very fine (and free!)
Koch-Method training program from www.qsl.net/g4fon
