I am at the point were the rig offers 30 wpm were I am ok. The next step is 40 no steps between. That is some step for sure, I will try just having the tutor going in the background while I do my hour commute. Not sure I can do that at home the XYL seems to not hear it as music to her ears.VE9KK https://www.blogger.com/profile/04720839744779758420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29848928.post-47658162152629574832010-09-13T15:30:46.736+01:002010-09-13T15:30:46.736+01:00Hi Kevin,
Great to hear from you.
You're abs...Hi Kevin,<br /><br />Great to hear from you.<br /><br />You're absolutely right - there certainly is some fast, ropey morse around! To add insult to injury, people sometimes use unusual abbreviations. Once you get used to it, it's fine, of course, but it can be a bit alarming when you first start listening.<br /><br />Great about the E-92 and the DVAP. You'll love it. If you find that you're not able to get registered on D-STAR a reasonably timely fashion, let me know and I'll put you in touch with someone who might be able to help. I don't like to think of you sitting there not being able to use the kit!<br /><br />TimTimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15165826626789082107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29848928.post-47047054869416325392010-09-13T13:15:49.097+01:002010-09-13T13:15:49.097+01:00Hi Tim

Although I've let it slip again now, a few years ago I improved my speed by listening to tapes in the car, which I recorded myself from a Morse tutor application. This was helpful, but it would have been better if I had also listened to Morse on the air, which is very different to the machine generated stuff. Is it me, or is there a lot of very fast but very bad Morse on the bands in recent years?<br /><br />By the way, following your recommendation in another blog post, I ordered an IC-E92 and a DVAP access point. I'm waiting for the UPS man to deliver them sometime today. I have found someone who says they will register me, but I don't think there is any way to check other than waiting until the DVAP connects, so it may be a while before I'm actually on the air!<br /><br />Kevin, G0DBIAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
