[CW] How to Learn CW

[D.J.J. Ring, Jr.]

I published this email on the Web here: https://qsl.net/n1ea/learnmorsecode.html

I often get asked how to learn Morse Code.  The answer of course is
just listen to the sound and repeat it often.

I found this TUTORIAL for Morse Code on YouTube.  It's eleven lessons.

Youtube-dl and other programs can convert to mp3 audio file.
