My quest to learn CW (22)

Daily practice continues... 



Now train with 26/20 wpm after I had about 90% correct a few times at 26/18 wpm. It is like I have to start all over again.

Average about 60% correct all the time. Same counts for plain text training. I also use an app on my phone called morse maven. I have the idea I learn more from morse maven compared to my daily lcwo training. I also make/made some CW QSOs on about 16-18 wpm with the begali paddle and have the idea it gets better every QSO. Although I try to find stations that are only make short QSOs. To make a complete QSO exchanging name, QTH, Rig, Antenna and WX is just a step too far. But I'm shure I will get there at some point.

I would like to welcome more members in my perseverance CW group on LCWO. 


Only 3 members is not much. We can discuss our achievements and we can see each others scores on lcwo. I hope members can learn from each other and encourage others as well. You don't have to be as fanatic as me. But if you are determined to learn morsecode it would be great to welcome you as a member.

Good morning Bas, yes moving up in speed does bring with it challenges. As I move up in speed I find that my instant character recognition (ICR) is used to the old speed and has to self tune with practice. Also copying ahead is used to the old speed as well. These two things take time to adjust and will with practice. I have also found for me letters like H,S or 6,B have some learning curves at the new speed as well. I have just recently moved up to 40wpm and am having the issues you mention. BUT it happens to me when I move up to a faster speed but again practice wins out.
