[K6BW] Re: CW tutoring??

[David Mueller]

In my opinion, nothing beats learning by using.  Once
you get your radio fixed, tune around and find some CW
and try to copy it!  Dont give up, keep at it, and
you'll soon be seeing progress.  It's real radio -
more interesting than some computer generated CW.

There are several Morse software programs on the web. 
Do a google search.  Many are free.
