My quest continues.
Try do do my daily CW training but due to circumstances I'm not always able to log in at LCWO. However I do practice everyday some days multiple times.
Concentrating on decoding sentences I do the normal course once a day. Still 25/18 wpm is too fast for me. 80% accuracy is one of the best scores. However when I train plain text training on 26/20 wpm my rate is higher.
The goal is to make QSOs of course, Well, that's another story. I made some QSOs in Sweden as SM/PE4BAS/P. And yes it worked out. But I had help from the CW decoder in the (tr)uSDX. I don't have that with the IC-7300 and I refuse to run a CW decoder on the computer. Without the decoder I have to rely on my own brain and that makes me less confident. Yes, I hear stations calling but am afraid I will not be able to understand what they key as soon as I call them. I also tried to call CQ on 16 wpm to hopefully get an answer with the same speed. But so far this didn't work out. Well, I struggle but that is normal I guess. I just continue with it.... I'm shure at some moment in the future I will get it.
