My quest to learn CW (20)

Daily practice continues...

 

I try to be on air with CW as much as possible. Did make some 5NN contacts with DX stations. But would like so much to exhange more as 5NN. However I'm still unable to follow a complete transmission. I do a lot of QSO practice listening on the CWops training page with 25/15wpm. But even that can only be copied about 50%. As you can see above I train random letters/numbers with 25/18wpm, copy about 70-90% as you can see it is mostly 80-85%. My brain is just not fast enough. Some letters are easy but have some trouble with a few. I did read it is normal and according to this PDF from WZ8C it could be wise to just train the alphabet again for ICR. For ICR training I found another interesting app for Android or Iphone/Ipad users called Morse Maven. Haven't used it much yet but will do on vacation. I also tried calling CQ randomly with 15wpm. Unfortunatly the stations that come back to me have a higher speed and I'm lost in copying, it is a little discouraging. Anyway, I'm keeping up doing my daily training sessions and will persevere...
