FWIW - I used NuMorse, a program written by a Brit to learn my code. Worked remarkably well for me, and I'd tried several times previously to learn it. IN fact, I passed my code exam - missed only one character during the entire exam. (Of course it was one of the characters in the sending station's call. ARRRGH!!)
If you count the questions, I got a 90%, but I also copied 1 min of perfect code, so. whatever. I passed! And did it with the help of NuMorse. 73 de Mark - N9WYS _____ From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com On Behalf Of Dave Schmidt I'm going to be near AES Milwaukee tomarrow... so I'll stop in and get da books. I already have code tapes and code software.... I've been trying to learn code for a while, I just have a brick for a brain for learning it and on top of that, something always comes up to distract me from daily practice - I can never get a set schedual for free time a few weeks to learn it... something always comes up to change everything and screw me up. The dropping of the code requirement shouldn't be the end of the code for the people who were trying to learn. I say - keep going. Its a challenge almost like learning a new language. I'll still continue to try and ONE OF THESE DAYS ... I'll make my first cw contact. I just gotta get a few QSLs on my wall for CW comms to add to the FM DX, SSB and even AM work I've done.
