[CW] Clueless ( as in not a clue )

[Bob via CW]

Danny .... a good idea ....  That would be easier than using a tape recorder .. 
  
What is the name of the program ?   Is there a link to it?  Can you copy it and down load it free ? 
Thanks    Whitey  K1VV ....    My Ham radio name of 50 years ...   My real name is ... 6....o... 6

The best way to check your own sending is to use a copy program, and see if IT copies you.  Considering how badly many of these programs do, it shows you are doing quite well, if it copies you at 100 percent.

For a touch of reality ... every one should tape record their CW for 20 or 30 minutes ... and then play it back and listen to it ... 
  
Bs for Ds ... 6s for Bs...  .. maybe something worse ...We record our CW once in a while ...it can an be a sobering experience.. 
  
It is not hard to get into some "bad" habits ....

To the real Morse operators, they claimed there was ne'er a signal they couldn't copy. 

Many times it was the poor senders who had lots of traffic - and at 50 cents a word that income increased every day, a 300 word message was $150.00 income, paid my pay for the day. 

I remember the Frenchman whom I called and I could copy NIL he was so bad, I finally managed to get from him how happy he was as he hadn't had a contact in months and he had had a stroke. 

Of course most of the poor code is from people who should practice or sober up before they send.

Am I the only one noticing that more and more operators are completely clueless about the art of sending CW? I can generally copy 25+ WPM of GOOD code. That would be code with nominally correct dit to dah ratios and spacing's.  It doesn’t have to be perfect but geese! There are ops out there that I couldn’t copy at any speed! A long time ago in a galaxy far far away we would call them LIDS. Dits that are barely contact closures and dahs that run on and on with no break between letters let alone words!! 
  
Sorry! Just felt the need to rant! I feel better now!
