[Elecraft] CW mistakes

[DOUGLAS ZWIEBEL]

Well, the biggest mistake I made as a beginner was not knowing all of
the usual cw abbreviations.  I thought my copying ability was
lousy...it wasn't, I just didn't recognize those cw shortcuts.

The one that threw me most often was "ES" (back in Feb 1966) until my
elmer stopped by to watch me copy.  I apologized for doing a lousy job
and he laughed and explained it all to me.  I was good at cw, but
lousy at comprehending what I was writing down.

The other big mistake back then was starting to send before completely
throwing the knife switch...but that's doesn't apply any more.  LOL

And "de" mean "from"
