I second that notion, motion, and emotion, to cover all the bases.
As a twice licensed novice, kn4boa and wn4uuu,/when novice tickets were
1year nonrenewables,[and a twice licensed technician, w4ukt, and later
wb4idu,/upgraded to general in December 1996,] I found that Listening to,
and when licensed adequately, participating in, QSOS really helps one's CW
receiving and coppying efficiency. But somehow I never got past around
10wpm that way, some kind of plateau in my head I guess. Anyway, when I
(finally, after 20years as an "old time" technician, {originally having been
assigned this call in 1976,} decided to earn the upgrade to General, in
1996,) The thing that helped me most was listening daily for a half hour at
a time or so, to W1AW's steady transmission of articles at different
speeds. It's really surprising how well your coppying ability will increase
with exposure to sensible text, transmitted in good code, at steady speed
and spacing. I wish all of you the best at upgrades, and thDanny.
