This might help those looking to practice cw.
I run linux most of the time here and have found a great cw program called
"morse".  It coupld probably be ported to dos but not sure whether anyone
has done it.

Asiede from w1aw cw practice, you can try tuning into live qsos.  Even if
they send too fast to copy every letter, you can still recognize some of th
abbreviations such as rst, name, qth, etc.
