    For those who know CW… but have never been able to learn to copy in your head, hearing words rather than just letters…. check this out:

    K1IG, George Allison, wrote an article for QST called "Increase Your CW Speed with Wordsworth." You can find it in the QST archives of the ARRL  website: pages 74-75, May 2017 QST.

    Search online for 'K1IG Wordsworth’ to uncover a lot more information.  For example:  https://sourceforge.net/projects/kb1oiq-k1ig-wordsworth/

    K1IG gave a talk as part of the recent QSO Today Virtual Ham Expo:  https://www.qsotodayhamexpo.com/  The video can be found in “the auditorium” of the expo and is #37, High Speed CW in Your Head.  (They say that the expo videos will be put on YouTube after April 16.)

    Aside from CW, K1IG is a very interesting person...
    career Navy, at one point in charge of all the Navy communication stations around the world!  See my other post about him to enjoy a good podcast interview with him!
