[CW] Morse Training Programs..

[Kilobravo]

I always find the best head copy for me is if we are working QSK and not having a long winded one way dialogue similar to the old AM fone net type format, where one opr goes on and on, when it is your turn
whether I copied at the time it was sent or not I forget a lot of the points that were made.

I like to keep little notes if the other opr is long winded.

I hear the keyboarders just a flying and can only pick out a few words here and there and am amazed how they do it.

For me once it gets to a really fast speed the code seems to become letters sent very slow as it all blurs into a mixed up mess.

          "But to get into the meat of a conversation, you are just skimming, unless you have hard copy. "


        Not to be contrary and I'm respectful of your background Danny, but I disagree. I have regular conversations with a good friend (and others) keyboarding at 55 to 75wpm and we just "head read" just as you would conducting a normal conversation. Writing it down would be counterproductive, but I do find that at "normal" QRS speeds the data rate is so slow that I almost have to jot it down as its difficult to follow the senders train of thought. I would also make an exception for transcribing numerical data or other "odd" text.
