“Happy New Year, Ian!
Yes, it was great to meet you at Hamfest this year – just sorry I couldn’t sort myself out to do the test. I had a LOT going on the previous couple of months and had no time to look at CW.
You will be pleased to know since then I have been enjoying getting a bit of time to play Morse! Since I saw you and with a bit of practice in the car (on CD) I’ve started to develop the ‘instant recognition’ you mentioned when we first spoke – wow! What a HUGE difference it makes – I’m no longer (for the most-part hearing dits and dahs but ‘letters’. Its much more relaxing and now means I’m on HF here at home (simple long wire) and enjoying CW contacts. I had a 45 minute rag-chew with a German station the other day. I’m very comfortable at 12-16 chatting away (providing I have a computer keyboard, I’ve still not mastered head copying for full sentences). Since the IR I amaze myself with being able to copy call-signs and ‘the jist’ of what’s going on at high speeds (in the 20’s).
A big thank you for your advice early on – you now personally take pride of place in any conversation I have regarding learning CW.”
Carl is now listed in the Morse Mentors Directory for the Royal Leamington Spa area
