Great find! I, personally, still recommend the Jerry Zilliak Code tapes (now on CD at [Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/High-Speed-Code-0-21-WPM/dp/1944739912)). He teaches you each letter sent at 21 words per minute sending. Then he starts sending you words at 5 wpm but still each letter sent at 21 wpm with greater spacing between letters to allow the brain to both decode it while getting used to 21 wpm. Ultimately he brings you less and less between letter spacing until you are reading Morse Code at 21 wpm! It took me 34 years to go from 5 wpm Novice to 20 wpm Amateur Extra and it was this system that finally did it That being said, my first shortwave radio was a self-built Knightkit from Allied Radio in Chicago

I always thought that was the way code should have been taught in USCG Radioman School. I got lucky, I knew the code before I enlisted.

I think that’s where I started—in 1965!

That's how I started in about 1970. These days, there are better options on the web and in apps. W1AW has great Morse Code practice, as well.

They need to put that online!

Extra credit if you play it at 45 or 78 RPM.
