Bob...
Yes, I have used your comments to infuse a new energy into the business
of "speeding up." At the moment, still using 5-letter groups and Rufz, I
start with the "dot" letters, e/h/i/s with U & V, at around 20wpm and
spends several trial at that task. Then, the full alphabet at 30wpm with
I believe that to be true. Years ago would ask if people played any instruments
when teaching for the Novice ticket and if they did they seemed to pick it up
faster.
I attributed it to recognition or rhythm patterns. Two examples are Q is "here
comes the bride" and V as from Beethoven's 5th s
I noticed that musically inclined folks seem to learn morse quicker.
I wonder why that is ?
BTW I hope we havent been on this non elecraft topic too long on the forum !

For sure, individual differences make for a big difference, both in the
rate of learning and the appropriateness of any one approach. I think we
all agree that "stretching your current copying speed" is the only way
to get faster. That's certainly my experience. I think my curiosity

Robert,
What is missing is that each person learns at a different level and
pace. Each of us has our brains "wired differently".
In other words, what will work well for one person does not mean that it
will work well for all.
The quickest way to increasing CW speed is to get on the air and sta
Bob's approach to increasing speed once a basic level of cw proficiency
has been achieved speak directly to my original thoughts on the subject.
Using a 5-letter group of random letters as the practice message, then
my question, in terms of Bob's approach, could be stated as follows.

I agree with you there Bob. I know my CW speed jumped when I worked
the high level CW nets (EAN) and suddenly HAD to copy fast and
accurate! I think in a few weeks I went from 20 to 29 wpm, my limit
for printing each character. There was no way I was going to keep
asking for fills.
