I have tried all the CW software that I can find and I
think most of it is a waste of time. I learned to copy
on paper and when I got up to the fastest speed that I
could write it down, I thought using CW software might
be the asnwer. It works fine with a strong signal and
no QRN or QRM. I gave it up and am still working on
copying in my head.
