[CW] Learning hints

[meils at get2net.dk]

My experience is that after a longer period of contiuous operation,  I get
"deaf" at the particular tone frequency being used and the cure is to
shift to another tone (I usually find a lower tone best - depending on how
high the original frequency was). In general, I find that at speeds of
over 20 wpm, I prefer 500-800 Hz. My hearing seems to peak at about 1 kHz
but I
don´t find 1 kHz a comfortable operating frequency.
