You are correct of course, as I mentioned I do hear it on the bands
and I am tempted to start copying.  If I have a keyboard in front of
me, my fingers hit the keys as I hear the characters.  Kind of
strange after all these years, but it took me 9 months to learn
initially.

When learning I hit a point where if the code went faster than
22cpm, I would hear doubles.  Once I got past that it was smooth
sailing.

Thanks,

Cougar
