It took me more than a whole summer to be able to do the 20wpm for Extra.  I
used to carry cassettes with me and had a Heathkit morse keyboard that would
output random morse characters.  Used that in the truck back then as well.
I listened to no entertainment radio at any time, and probably caught most
of the W1AW morse transmissions for practice.  At the test I squeaked by at
the minimum 70%.

Perhaps I have a bit of dylexia as well.  Dyslexics of the world, UNTIE!
Don't sell your soul to Santa!

And Congrats to those who passed the tests!
