Another word of warning is that sadly, this knowledge doesn’t seem to stick if left unexercised. Few years ago I used this website to get good enough to be able to copy callsigns from real radio. Now I would have trouble to recall more than a few letters.

- zamadatix 2y agoIt'd be interesting to see how quickly relearning it to ~the same level would be in terms of % of time spent originally. I found something similar after going through several different keyboard layouts ~15 years ago. It turned out it only took a few hours for it to all come back so I make sure to use Qwerty and Dvorak at least once a year in case I ever need them (I landed on a 3rd).
- hn_throwaway_99 2y agoAs is true with nearly any language. I originally got my ham license back in 1988 when I was a kid (was actually surprised/happy I could remember my original callsign and use that to look up my registration date). I got up to the 13 WPM needed to pass the General license back then, but then I eventually lost interest, especially when I went to college and the Internet (and especially the Web) was in its early stages. I sadly can hardly remember any of the codes these days.
