[Elecraft] Learning CW

Hi Jeff:
You're correct. You will receive zillions of answers to your query about
learning CW. I think, as do many, that CW is a new language. You learn a
language through usage. Read the mail on CW QSO's that is pushing your
personal envelope just a bit and, for heaven's sake, be playful about
learning. I'm 72 years old. I copy most CW down by hand but, finally,
I'm beginning to enjoy it. It is a learned skill. Sure, practice
sending, by all means. It'll help. The MFJ Morse Code Tutor is a good
method too if you can afford it. Exposure and go easy on yourself is my
suggestion. But, as I say, there are a zillion more ideas on this
reflector. 
73 and God speed,
Jim K7JIH  #1302 K2
