I also practiced for passing the 20 WPM extra by sending highway
signs before actually passing them. Being near-sighted made that even more
challenging. I actually used a keyer and paddle in the car.
Having said that, I disagree with the idea that practicing with the key
isn't that important. I know many hams who passed the code
test but were affraid to get on the air because they had never practiced
sending. I know a young man who easily passed his 13 wpm general
but was uncopyable when on the air. I strongly suggest practice sending
and receiving and finding a code buddy to work with. If you
are within working distance on two meters of winona. I will work with
you.
