This is a great ON LINE program. No need to down load anything. One can practice on any computer with internet access. It starts with just two letters sent at 20 wpm. This seemed very fast but after a few tries the cw finally came to me and I began to copy correctly and nearly 90 accuracy. Then one can add another letter and then another and before you know with a few sessions your speed is up to where contacts on the air are possible with minimal effort. Thanks for the wonderful program.

An excellent addition to the wide range of CW tools available. Now when someone tells you what their Code Speed is......it can be demonstrated!

I've chatted with the author a number of times online and he's very receptive to ideas and suggestions. An excellent site that's certainly helped me out.

Why not work others over the internet using CW. We have Echolink. All you would need is an oscillator and feed your computer microphone input. It's always better to learn and improve speed to copy another person. Would be like the old novice days.

I learned code is a like way 15-years ago when I first started my adventure in ham radio. When I was a novice and then technician in the early/mid 90's I learned using the Farnsworth method and while it is a usable method, I hit a roadblock when trying for 20wpm. 13wpm was still achievable although it was difficult - I did pass on the first try - but it was close. This was many years ago and before several rules changes. When I wanted to work contests and make a greater effort to use and enjoy CW I tried the fast method (of that mentioned here) with a few characters at a time. I knew the code well enough to work contests where I knew what the exchange would be (like FD and CQWW) but a QSO at more than 10-12wpm was a challenge. I still work CW from time to time and have decided to get more involved with that aspect of the hobby as for someone like me with a modest antenna farm and sometimes only 5-watts CW is a no-brainer. I will bone-up on my CW using this site as that is the way I increased my speed before.
Not only that - some of the rarest and best DX on the planet only work CW and for someone like me who likes to work DX more than rag-chew those elusive Q's are enough to get back into high(er) speed code.
Good luck if you choose to give CW a try - now that it is not required (sad) maybe more people will try it and this option to learn CW is a GREAT option.
