"I was scheduled to attend a US Army
communications school that would require me to learn Morse Code. My stepfather gave
me a copy of the Codequick course materials as a gift. I followed the directions to
the letter (yes my wife thought I was going crazy when she saw me waving my arms and
saying things like DOG DID IT!) I used the materials for about 30 days before the
school.
The result: I went from zero to confirmed
15wpm send and receive in two weeks. By the end of 4 weeks my receive speed
had increased to 22gpm and send speed was 17gpm using a straight leg key and pencil/paper.
The test was done using random alphanumeric characters (no punctuation) based on
a given number of incorrect characters in a one minute period. If the characters had
been sent in plain text, the number of errors would have been even lower since I could
have filled in the correct letters within the text.
While others were failing the course because they could
not pass beyond their particular plateau, I was sailing far beyond the course standards.
I would like to thank the makers of Codequick for making this possible. I
recommend Codequick to anyone trying to learn Morse Code.
Sincerely, SSG Mike Summers, US Army."
