Hi Group,

Somebody was asking about this, so I thought I'd post
it for everyone.

Here is a list of the 98 Most Common words in radio,
take from page 68 of the 3rd edition of "Art and Skill
of Radio Telegraphy" by Bill Pierpont N0HFF.

What I had done was to paste these into a text file...
and then fed the text file to a program like WinMorse
and created WAV files at 35,30,25,20 and 18 WPM
which I then burned to an audio CD so I could listen
to them in the car.

In the text file I added five spaces after each word on
the same line as the word to give a little more time
between each word (Farnsworth like..).

I posted the link to WinMorse program before, but here
it is again so you don't have to go look for it:
