[Elecraft] QRQ

[Alan D. Wilcox]

Jim,
If you'd like to get your code speed up, I highly recommend "The Art & 
Skill of Radio-Telegraphy" ... it can be found in html at 
http://www.zerobeat.net/tasrt/contents.htm . A downloadable pdf is 
available, but it's not nearly so easy to navigate. I'm trying to get my 
code speed up too, and it's very helpful.

I also use CwType <http://dxsoft.com/> (paste any text in the window and 
hear it at whatever speed you want). The Art&Skill book has "common 
words" you can copy and paste directly into CwType, which really helps 
with the practice.

At http://www.k0ru.net/fog/highspeed.html , you'll find a few words of 
advice from a chap who's running at speed.

Cheers,
Alan

This spring I started Triple Play to force myself to get serious on CW and it has been uphill all the way but I am gaining on it (still missing 15 states CW on LOTW).
