I don't know if anyone still follows my updates about my progress in learning morse code. But if you do, and if you're wondering if I've given up: not yet! However, I was unable to attend class for the first time on Tuesday night. Because of a serious snowstorm, I was stuck at home with no electricity and lots of problems to solve quickly. But I was finally able to attend via skype (that's what they use) and it was perfectly fine.

I have to admit that I had not been able to practice all week and it showed. In the beginning, I made an alarming number of mistakes copying. But during the lesson my rate improved constantly and at the end I was back to 0 mistakes.

The new characters were 'R' and 'G' and that makes it a total of 16, if I'm not mistaken. (I've never gotten that far, but I wouldn't say the new characters have stuck yet).

Still, I'm full of hope that I'll actually make it this time. If your club offers something similar, don't hesitate to try it out.
