Ronnie's question is best answered in the same light as the young lady in New
York who asked the question "how do I get to Carneigie Hall?" A quick answer
came back: "practice, practice, practice".
Second suggestion, toss the pencil and paper away in an effort trying to do
100% copy, just copy in the head and make notes. Call, name, QTH, RST and any
other misc comments.
Ragchew on the low end of 40M. Lots of CW QSO's there.
