You are _so_ right about spacing!
I felt ...Larry,<br /><br />You are _so_ right about spacing!<br /><br />I felt so moved on this particular issue I published on a little web site of mine something in similar vein.

I used to always send a series of dits after a mistake until a very experienced op told me just to leave a short space and resend the word. I thinking his feeling was that if you do it that way, the series of dits is unneccesary. Either way works for me, but I tend to do it the latter way now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12559579.post-88644630891627498792011-04-29T13:44:40.720-04:002011-04-29T13:44:40.720-04:00Larry, I wonder what your opinion is of "non-...Larry, I wonder what your opinion is of "non-standard" dah lengths? I hear guys every now and then where they're sending a dah that is significantly longer than the norm. I have enough trouble copying "standard" code, but I really have issues with those folks. I'm curious what you think.<br /><br />As for me, I solve my sending issues by mostly sending via keyboard. Still working on improving my manual fist though ...<br /><br />73,<br />DavidDavid, K2DBKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01368040445069901890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12559579.post-35784695169295470822011-04-29T12:45:33.001-04:002011-04-29T12:45:33.001-04:00Hello Larry,

Rhythm and Spacing, and the choice of words and abbreviations!<br /><br />I've come to realize anything much above 10 wpm, has more to do with the person on the other end, than your ability to copy. <br /><br />I worked a guy in South Bend, IN last night, who could send flawless CW at over 20 wpm. And I could understand every letter and every word clearly. A real master with a key! (my normal speed is around 15 wpm) <br /><br />I admire those who can send and copy fast code. (I'm not one of them yet) but (as you say) a good fist is a gift. More to those that listen than those who send. <br /><br />Great post!Jspikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14751088160139882564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12559579.post-64853326299148372242011-04-29T09:10:56.772-04:002011-04-29T09:10:56.772-04:00Thanks very much for the great advice Larry.

My problem is when receiving CW I am shy to ask for repeats as I feel I am being looked at as "what can this guy copy or what" I have had listened to some QSO's were as you said the letters just flow together. As I am writing things down for practice I find that one long confusing word is actually two separate words. As I figure that out the sender is now far ahead of me and then I am lost all together. In regards to sending my rule is only send as fast as you can receive. I, as most others can send much faster than receiving but be prepared for the code to come back at you just as fast as it was sent. Thanks again Larry for the great advice.VE9KK https://www.blogger.com/profile/04720839744779758420noreply@blogger.com
