Code practice ------------------------- WARM UP DRILL: (work this drill at your GOAL & PUSH speeds) Must have a handkey and paddle. First send "S" a few times. Then send "H" a few times on the handkey. NOW send "S" and "H" on the Paddle. After this feels good then try to send "5" with the handkey a few time inbetween "H." Once you feel good about your sending do the DIT EXERCISE (below)... DIT EXERCISE She is him & he is she. Is she he? He is she. Shall his be these? Did she see his fees? This is she. N5SHS is his call. Is NS5H hers? She is HH5HHS. Did she see these? He is in these trees. His trees are these. His tree is here. She & he. She is 55 es she is his sister --------------------------------------------- MISSISSIPPI is always a good warm-up! A friend was awarded the awesome call of W5HSH.
