[TenTec] Real CW

[jerome schatten]

Well, here's a theory:

Copying? I think it's all about being able to recognize and deal with sound 
patterns. Most folks have this capacity to some extent, but some don't. If 
you really don't, then I can see where it might take years to master five 
wpm (if ever).  If you're musical, (read play in instrument by 'ear'), even 
whistle at tune, or hum, or sing something that you've heard, reasonably in 
tune and tempo, then you should have no trouble with the code.

How about you 60 wpm AL -- can you whistle a tune, bang it out on a piano, 
or sing a few bars of 'Happy Birthday'?

Best,
