Improving
Your Speed |
Some
hints for increasing your speed: |
Throw away
your pencil. Learn
to read Morse in your head and jot down essential details only to jog your
memory.
As soon as you
can read 70-80% of Morse at a particular speed move on to a higher speed.
Exercise your brain and you will soon learn to recognise common words and
groups automatically.
Practise often.
Listen to Morse as often as you can, even
if it is only running in the background.
Enjoy your
hobby. Your brain works best when alert but relaxed. |
