[Elecraft] Whaddayaknow... passed the Extra

I'll throw this comment out before I get to reading all the replies...my 
method 20+ years ago was to get on the air every day no matter what. 
Practice makes perfect in anything you do. CW is no different. Get on 
the air no matter how slow or fast or crappy or perfect you send or 
receive. Someone out there will respond back to your CQ eventually and 
there is no looking back from that day forward. You'll miss letters, 
words, ask for repeats, miss tons of info but don't give up or get 
pissed off. Keep at it and you will see by the end of the summer that 
you will be hauling bootie with smokin fast CW. I went from 0 to 31 WPM 
in the first year that I was licensed (1987). I was on the air 
practically every day & night.

You can do it and this group and others can help...hi hi...
