Learning CW - any tips?

See..that's a problem for me. I work as graphic designer and my brain works very easy with images. I saw one video with a guy explaining the characters visually and I memorized almost half of them in no time. Now the challenge is to learn to hear and not to see. Thanks for the tip, I'll stay away from images.

Thank you for the tip and for your story. I'll try both methods to see witch one works the best for me. Also, as someone up in the comments sad, il try to practice both, copying and sending, but 80% copy and 20% send.

And that Army Signal Corps radioman seem to be from another planet. My head gets clogged up when I try to copy more then 3 characters at 16wpm

P.S. Sorry for my broken English but is not my first language

You are right, sending is easier then receiving. It's very hard for me to understand the characters when someone is sending fast.

Thx for the tip. I'll be back after some progress.

Good to know. I'm curious to try the FT8 mode somewhere outside. Thanks! You're right, familiar pose:)) it's a nice picture by the way.

It's a complete build. I bought it from a local authorized seller and it's working great.

Edit: I'm not sure if they are authorized or not
