Hi Phillip
i devised this method when I discovered the opposites by accident at age 14.
I also wrote an article on the method and posted it to hamradio-online
in 1997. i received much email about this method and everybody had
positive results. The best way to do this is to present it to students,
and let them try it on their own. I also have a method that permits you
to copy high speed CW in three weeks time.

I had never thought of teaching "opposites." How many students have you
used this with and what is their your of success?
This is interesting from a psychological and academic viewpoint.

"You see, wire telegraph is kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his
tail
in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles.
Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send
signals here, they receive them there.
The only difference is that there is no cat."

Hi Dave

It goes like this:

B V I M O S T E Y Q
D U K R P X U D
E T L F Q Y V B
F L M I R K W G
Exceptions: C H J Z
Here is a demo word: FLANKERT
Have fun

OK, Danny, what is a good way? I'm all ears - except for the foot in
my mouth! Yours recommendation is for stinky fish - so I gather you
have a better way.
