CW

My last proficient operating time was in 1958 at the North Pole on a IGY
expedition, Drift Station Alpha. Haven't used CW since. I have a K2 and
KX-1. Have been listening and attempting to get the CW back. Biggest
problem is concentration at age 67. It will come, I'm sure. Are there
tapes at different speeds that can be purchased. Perhaps that would help
me.

Many thanks.

Phil

Re: CW

Actually - if you have internet access - the easiest and cheapest way to
practice might be going right to the ARRL and downloading the most recent MP3
audio file of W1AW.

Phil--

While there are audio CDs (and, I'm sure, tapes) available from ARRL,
there is also "Morse Academy", a CW training/practice tool that runs
under MSDOS (and Windows). It's extremely flexible, and free.

http://www.speroni.com/AH0A.html

A hint for Windows XP/NT users: I've been unable to get the program to
drive a sound card under these OSs, but "PC speaker output" works fine.

RE: CW

There is also a free program that I like called WinMorse www.winmorse.com
that converts any text file to a .wav file. Either play the .wav file on
the computer or burn it to an audio CD to play in the car or on your
portable CD player. There is plenty of text available that one can easily
'Copy and Paste' to a file - how about reading the Elecraft digest in CW for
your daily practice!!!
