[Fists] MFJ Morse Code Tutor

Fri, 07 May 2004 04:00:58 -0400

I highly suggest the MFJ Code Tutor. It is as small. It is very reliable and 
produces an amazing variety of code at speeds from 3 to 60 words per minute. 
I dare anyone to wear out the functionality of it. I have used it to 
practice while on a commuter train and elsewhere for a couple of hours a day 
for the past four years and it is still quite useful. I can't think of any 
other tool that is better for practicing code. Although other lesser models 
exist, get the full version with the readout. It is very useful to check the 
screen if you need to check a word that you didn't catch. And now, a public 
service announcement: Don't procrastinate or make excuses about learning 
code. Practice and practice some more. You are learning a foreign language. 
It will take a long time to become fluent, but the rewards are great and 
will last a lifetime. Don't miss out on the fun. It's worth every moment 
invested. Please contact me if you have any questions or would like a 
over-the-air Code Buddy for additional practice. CW is a blast! Learn it!
