[Elecraft] Prosign confusion

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Good suggestions, but how about just turning on the rig and "reading the
mail" for a while for some experience of "real" fists?  If you're just
listening, no one cares if you miss characters as you build proficiency...

Stephanie and others - 

Let me recommend Ray Goff's Koch Method Morse Trainer. http://www.g4fon.net/
Not only is it a great way to become proficient in the alphabet and
prosigns, Ray has gone on to add simulations of bad fists, bad noise, bad
speed, bad fading ... I've found it very useful. There are mechanisms for
copying sample QSOs as well as common words (and a supportive mailing list).

The W1AW code practice sessions are great, too. But you can run Ray's
program whenever you have 5-15 minutes to spare!
