EV> TH> I'm slowly getting back into CW after (15?) year break.  What

EV> TH> know it is better to use a real interface to key the rig than
EV> TH> MCW (through signalink only).  But is it "bad" to rely on
EV> TH> programs until I can copy consistently at 15wpm?  I know what
EV> TH> the purist will say already but in practical terms what is the
EV> TH> best way to go forward and still have fun?

EV>I don't see anything wrong using a computer program for a CW QSO.

EV>Just remember not to send faster that the other operator can copy.

EV>I haven't been on the air for years, but when I'm driving on multilane
EV>highways I sound off (in my head) the letters on the license plates of
EV>autos that pass me.

EV>I found a link to listen to W1AW's Code Practice some months ago and
EV>learned that I couldn't copy as fast as I use to.
EV>73, Ed W0ODR
