    This is un-usual Matt. I used the Chuck Adams MP3 cd-rom in a CW 
Class I started in town and had about 10 people. I set it up as a 3 week 
one hour a day meeting where everyone had the portable MP3 player with 
earphones.

    There were 2 students that got no-where with Chuck Adams. There were 
5 that needed more time to finish the whole cd-rom. And three did just fine.

    With the two that could not use the Chuck Adams method I had them 
get the Koch CW Trainer off my web page. It is software for your windows 
computer and it sends CW at an adjustable rate and character speed. My 
webpage is at:

       www.zianet.com/k5di

and click on CW. And download Koch. Use this set to 5 words/min with 
character speed of 15 words/min.

     Try this and see if it stops your character reversal Matt.
