For some mysterious reason I have a much easier time sending accurate Morse code than receiving it. This was true when I first acquired a ham license in the 1950s and it's still true today (KE7ZZ).
I was able to solve a game example at 30 WPM, but it's only five characters repeated, not so difficult. And as someone here has commented, one's code skill declines through neglect.
But, as with Latin and a few other examples, once a given skill has lost all relevance to modern life, my interest increases.

- _whiteCaps_ 2y agoI find it easier to send as well. I think it's because your brain isn't working to autocomplete the words that are being sent, so there's more processing power available for your fingers to send the characters. PS. I love your boating articles. I've read every one on your website.

- fortran77 2y agoThis isn't mysterious at all. That's why when the FCC tested people like me (extra since 1977, First Class Radiotelegraph since 1978) they only tested receiving.
