[CW] Thank you, Zenith Radio Corporation

[Craig Roberts]

I, too, suffer from "Knoppow Syndrome", only mine's a worse case. I have 
been copying code for over 40 years but still can't seem to break 
through a 30-35 wpm barrier, and I can only copy at that speed for short 
periods of time.  I know what the problem is, but have a heckuva time 
overcoming it.

When I'm at an uncomfortable speed, I tend to "wander away", especially 
after I have missed a word or two and attempt to "replay" them. I know 
darned well that that's a rookie mistake, but my brain seems to default 
to that mode nonetheless.  It's a shame since it discourages me from 
hanging out in the Extra Class sub-bands where 40 wpm seems to be the 
speed 'o the day.  Heck, I'm comfortable with my"manual transmission" 
Amplidan and 20-25 wpm, but very few fellows in the Extra bands favor 
such "slow poke" rhythms.

When I retire in a couple of years, I'll devote more practice time to my 
CW.  Of course, I might be too ancient to improve much by then :-)

73,
