[Elecraft] Whaddayaknow... passed the Extra

[KC2UEE]

Hi gang,

Just so you all know, I am in the process of learning CW.   Not because I
have too as someone else mentioned, but because I want to learn something
that I feel is an integral part of the amateur experience.

Hopefully within a few months, I'll be proficient enough to send and copy at
15wpm.  I'm actually learning at 25wpm, but I don't want to burn myself out
too quickly.

Interestingly enough, I actually find it easier learning the alphabet for
how it sounds as a complete letter, and not as dots and dashes.  Hopefully
if I get good enough, I can decipher entire words just by how the string of
code sounds instead of listening for each letter and copying that way.

73,
James KC2UEE
