We know that HABITUATION is one of the best practices for becoming proficient in CW.
I'm still working at a company so I cannot get QRV every day.
I participate in every MST - Medium Speed Test on Monday, AWT - A1CLUB Weekly Test, and CWT - CWops Weekly Test, both on Wednesday.
I'm not a contestant, but the CALLING CQ in the contests results in better decode proficiency and also develops a tough mind toward the very fast WPM call back. hihi
And then, the weekend is the time to brush up on my CW skills.
"CQ SKCC" at my 7-9AM JST on Saturday and Sunday is to establish better keying on my straight key. A1NET and FEANET develop my Morse words and expressions.
What is your HABITUATION?
