Interesting Clark, I find the major problem to my CW proficiency is a lack
of concentration ...I can copy high speeds in my head to 30 WPM with ease...
but only for brief periods...do I have a short attention span ?
Real QSO/s as opposed to practice do sharpen me up but not as much as I
would like. I hate missing copy. Also I can copy perfect CW as in W1AW quite
easily but not so the variability of fists on the air....
Still trying after all this time....
