[CW] (no subject)

[Joe V31JP]

Many of us learned it the wrong way, Richard, the visual, 5 WPM, etc. At 
some point with constant use, some of us
started hearing CW sounds and moving directly to a letter, then words.  
When I hit my peak, I was operating mobile,
receive and transmit.  No writing except for maybe logging info and even 
then I used a tape recorder often to
record the log information. I had built a good CW vocabulary then. Just 
listening to CW at a higher then your
comfortable speed, whether paying attention or not, will build your speed.
