I agree with the below completely. Another excellent source is to tune into the ARRL's Code Transmissions on the air. They start at a fast speed and when finished, move to the next lower speed and so on. The advantage is you are trying to copy perfect CW sent faster than you can actually copy but you force yourself to listen harder, so you end up hearing more. When you get close to the speed you can copy, your head is already thinking CW better than usual and your comprehension is much better.
http://www.arrl.org/code-transmissions As it mentions in the link, the code is from QST and if you have the article in front of you, you can read it at the same time. I didn't find doing that was greatly helpful for me but another person might. The perfect CW and the slowing of the speed made the difference to me. 73, Gary KA1J > Thanks.
