Why is the code practice sessons even needed now ? In 1955 very few probably
had tape recorders or an easy method to get perfect code practice. Now you can
get a computer for almost nothing (some will even give you an old computer just
to get it out of the house). I gave one away to a fellow years ago just so he
could run a code program.
