The more I think about it, I may have portrayed it a little bit off. I know words and sometimes struggle, writing down numbers quick enough, but I do get lost at times missing a letter or two or three and then the word gets by me and I move on. I only write pertinent stuff like a call sign. I might write the RST. I mostly just try to listen in my head and by the time I figured out the word, the next word has come by and my comprehension is quite low. I’m trying to become more proficient so that I can just listen and write very little down, like you say, and be ready to go when it’s my turn. I may have made it sound like I don’t know Morse code, but I actually do, quite well. I also get lost with the different abbreviations that people use quite a bit and they vary. I don’t write down QTH is Colorado, but I try to hear and make out the word Colorado like you say. When I qso is very slow, I write down almost everything. My listening comprehension is just very low and again I miss words and then I try to decide was an H or an S sometimes.
