I suppose I am one of those fortunate cw-men that have morse as a 2nd language. I joined Cable and Wireless in the UK in 1943 at the tender age of 15, and was immediately plunged into a morse enviroment. I was taught morse and operating techniqes for 6 months, both on tone and sounder (I can read key clicks). After this period of indoctrination, I has happy listening and understanding morse up to 45wpm, and beyond. Now, after 60 years or so I can still perform, though my fist is tired now after a TIA, [google it] and I stumble a little. But the important thing was practice, practice and yet more practice. I use to spell out in my head anything I saw on a billboard, etc. All it needs is dedication.
