And steady we go...

Have been training with 28/22 wpm but it was just a step to far I think. So I train with 28/20 wpm now. I do mostly plain text training which shows between 60-100% accuracy depending on how long the sentence is and what words are used. Words like "the", "you", "it", "in" and "is" are now easy. But words like "sometimes" or "something" are hard to decode. Anyway it is fun to try and get better every time. Do one lesson per day, random code groups of 5 with 28/20wpm. I score about 60-80% now and think it is not bad compared to what I did last month.
CWOPS intermediate course
However I miss the interaction. I need feedback on my learning. And although a few people motivate me through the comments on this blog. I miss the contact with people that want the same as me and are beginners as well. Learning the code and make real QSOs on air. So, I wrote PE2V Vincent for information because he's one of the volunteers at CWops. He kindly send me an e-mail with all the links to the pages for application. So I did, and I will start with a CWops intermediate course in January 2026. In the mean time I already started with some homework assignments and already am at session 8 day 2.
Of course I will continue writing about my learning experience on this blog!

Good morning Bas I always enjoy reading your CW updates. I thiink CWops is the way to go. There will be lots of good interaction and load of great direction on your code adventure. CWops are a group of folks who have been where you have and will offer great direction. As you already know from reading the CWops info and doing the homework it will ask for some of your time to be set aside. In the large picture it's not that much time and the advances you make with their direction will be great. I am a CWop as you know and like tooting my horn about them when I can.
73,

Tnx Mike, yes I think CWops is the way to go. I think I will at least learn something. 73, Bas
