  Well, what a joy these lessons are. In the past, I&apos;ve tried learning CW using a couple of apps and also from a printed form. Neither worked, for me. Your lessons makes learning the code much easier, as it is presented in a very simple, but sensible manner. What I did find I must not do, however, is look at the screen. As mentioned, it is not a good idea to look at the key. With vision being our strongest sense, looking at the key almost overrides the hearing sense, which happens to be critical for CW. I do the lessons only by listening and also writing down each character, every single time I hear it. Hearing characters from previous lessons being &quot;thrown in&quot;, they simply flow from my pen, automatically. <br>Well, done and thank you for well thought out and presented lessons and offering others a real opportunity to learn CW! 😀👌

  After 3 lessons, and a failed attempt using a different method last year, your lessons seem to be working for me - thank you! &nbsp; I notice your building block method of presenting new material, along with some other good instructional techniques, and said to myself ... I wonder if this guy is a CFI ?

  First of all, THANKS for the &quot;No Ads&quot; with these videos. &nbsp; &nbsp;Second, you claim to be &nbsp;be sending at around 18 wpm, very good speed for first time learners - but it sounds like about 12wpm - but thats coming from a guy who runs around 25wpm on the air so I&apos;m probably way off. &nbsp; YEARS ago, they taught us at 5wpm which was STUPID, as you had to retrain your brain to get more speed. <br><br>And I wish you&apos;d not even mention &quot;dots and dashes&quot; as, again, that leads the student into visualization of the dots and dashes, which they then translate into the character (it also leads to counting dots and dashes, which you mention is a BAD thing, so I know you and I are not really disagreeing - just offering criticism. &nbsp; &nbsp;If I thought your video was crap, I&apos;d not even comment! &nbsp; &nbsp;<br><br>Thanks for the effort in doing this, there is an awful lack of CW instruction these days. <br><br>73, WR8Y

  Thanks for taking the time to Elmer us. I have struggled with CW since the early 80’s. I love the pace of your lessons. I think it’s starting to sink in. <br>72’s de KK4LBJ

  I tried a couple of lesson plans from other teachers and it was hard!! &nbsp;Your way of teaching is helping me to get it but I have to study alot to pick it up. To know the sound of each letter.<br>I&apos;m now on lesson 3 and the three digit letters kinda through me but I just started on them. Thank you very much for doing these lessons, Ed

  Cheers. I am really binging your videos. You really pointed out a thing that&apos;s been on my mind, that is, is there a reason many American call signs start with K and N. <br>I am from England, and soon to do the amateur radio course in July, when I pass, It seems my starter letter will be M.
