[CW] Instant Recognition

[Ron Zond]

Hi Kate

You say taht you all apart at 20. I had the same problem.
My solution was to listen (not copy) to the  W1AW code sessions
that start at 35 wpm and go down. In three weeks I was copying
(writing it) at 20 wpm with few errors. Try it for a few weeks.
By the way this method seems to be resistant to the aging process.

  Uh oh, you must have been listening to my practice sessions!

  5 & H, 6 & B, 7 & Z, D & B sometimes, / & a few prosigns ... basically the
ones you don't hear that often.  I think I can configure LCWO.net to drill
on only these characters, so I can give them extra attention.  No prosigns,
though :>(.  I'm doing pretty well at 15 to 18 now, but fall apart at 20.

  Nice article, BTW.

    It sounds like you need to develop instant recognition - read my article
about it and see if it applies to you. It's in pdf format at
    http://www.kl7kc.com/FistsCodeCourse/instant.pdf


    There really aren't any shortcuts (lke "here comes the bride" for Q" or
"dog did it" for D) because you end up translating it two times  - first
from the shortcut, then into letters.  Practice practice and more practice!
