Hi Doug,
?
If you want to learn to copy code fast, stay away from Code Quick. I used Code Quick to quickly learn CW to pass my basic CW level.?But after that when I wanted to copy code faster it was an impediment. This was because you hear the code character, convert that to a "sound-alike", then convert that to a letter, then remember the letters to create a word or a phrase. Perfect for slow speed CW and writing it down, but not for faster head copying.
?
I am now trying to "unlearn" the "sound-alikes", and starting over again with "instant recognition" techniques. There is lots of information on this.?
?
You can use apps on you computer or smart phone or on the Internet to generate letters, groups, phrases, call signs, and sample QSOs at any speed. There are also good on-line courses.
?
At the moment I practice listening at 35wpm to single character, then two characters, then three characters, etc. But then when I listen or send in the 18 - 22 wpm it is a lot easier and there is no "translation time" as in the Quick Code method.
