Yesterday was the first day, I successfully finished lesson 40/40 on #lcwo

Having been subscribed to the platform since 2008, it took me quite a while to finish the basic learning of #morse code.

Thanks to @DJ5CW for #lcwo, my CW advisor Lutz DM6EE and my peers in the CW academy foundation class Jan/Feb '26.

Now let's keep on learning to get ready for more QSOs.

I have practiced CW every day for the last three months. Due to the Congress, I now have a gap of shame in my learning schedule. Time to pick up where I left off.

I feel like I am finally over the first hump of morse code after about a week of practice. I definitely don't have instant character recognition, but I know the alphabet and am quickly adding letters to the lessons on #LCWO at 8WPM any copying the gibberish with 90% accuracy, and doing some real text at 5wpm (both farnsworth 20wpm keying)

I didn't realize if you save the WPM change in your profile it gives you shorter text. That was probably my biggest problem they were soooo long when I slowed it down manually each time.

#CW100days
As I only receive QRM on the HF bands this evening, I had a short #LCWO session.
16 to 20 WPM (and a bit @23WPM).

Using lesson 40 (all chars, numbers, punctuation and prosigns)

I didn't write down or type anything.
After so much head copy training, I know instantly if my head copy is correct or not.

Prosigns and punctuation come much more often in the exercises than in the real QSO phrases I practice on my phone.
Clearly, I have to refresh my "instant recognition" in this area !

#CW100days well, not a hundred but getting there.

#lcwo call sign training feature is hard.

25 WPM fixed speed. Dot to repeat is good. Worked ok with word training but screaming halt on call signs.

#CW100days
Did some Ditto #CW on my phone in the tramway this evening.

The previous days, I went back to #LCWO (thanks again Fabian, @dj5cw 🙂)
As is usual for me now my limitation is hitting the wrong keys on the keyboard and finally loosing track.

I mostly try to copy on the air (still very clumsy antenna setup here + heavy QRM).
I mostly receive the "kW big guns" in contest mode : very fast.
I only copy groups of letters, but now, to my ears it doesn't sound anymore like modulated noise!
