Learning the code

[Ken G Kopp]

Difficulty remembering correct name ... Farnsworth method (?) ... Copy
characters fast (10+ WPM) and slow down by increasing the spacing between
characters while still maintaining the same character speed.  -Never- count
dots and dashes ... Learn letters as small "packages" of sounds.

CW is the one thing in life I am good at. (:-)

FWIW ...

Hi Ken,

You are correct… an excellent way to learn is the Koch method with the Farnsworth spacing. Characters are typically formed at 20wpm and then space increase to get the speed down to something copyable. That gives good sound and an adjustable pace.

I’m learning now and using the Farnsworth spacing. It’s working.
