[Elecraft] Learning the code

[David Thompson]

Hi Ken,

You are correct… an excellent way to learn is the Koch method with the Farnsworth spacing. Characters are typically formed at 20wpm and then space increase to get the speed down to something copyable. That gives good sound and an adjustable pace.

I’m learning now and using the Farnsworth spacing. It’s working.
