[K6BW] Morse Code Trainer Software

[Bill Smith]

Quote from G4FON's page, explaining the origin of his software development:

When I returned to Amateur Radio my CW was decidedly rusty. What I felt I
needed was a CW Trainer to get my speed back. I looked around the Web and
found an article by Dave Finley N1IRZ on a method of CW training developed
by a German psychologist called Ludwig Koch back in the 1930's.

Reading though Dave's article, I decided that it all made a lot of sense.
Basically you start off learning the code at the speed you would like to
achieve. Unlike the Farnsworth method which seeks to reduce the gap between
the letters as you become more efficient, Koch came up with the idea that
you should start off just learning two letters at full speed and add an
additional letter once you reach 90% proficiency until you have mastered
them all. Since you are only learning one new letter or figure at a time,
your frustration is significantly reduced.

The software (free, thanks, Dave), and misc. ham projects can be found at:
