I couldn't agree more here. I learned some of these and feel they are a crutch, as I'm having a hard time breaking the 13wpm barrier. Especially L.... I think it might have been on the 5wpm Gordon West tape, he said to think of 'la LA la la.' Works great for 5wpm! But not at 20. I can hardly hear an L and not say that in my head while the next character is coming at me. I seriously wish I could erase all the code in my head and start from scratch at a faster speed. Retraining is really hard! Congrats on the extra... that's fantastic! My goal is to take the exam at Dayton this year, but the more advanced electronic theory is eating me alive. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Whaddayaknow...-passed-the-Extra-tp2445386p2451869.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
