Shame on me for not doing the SKCC thing since last winter. I just visited their much improved website.

They have a "learning center" with practice audio files and a matching text file. The audio files are setup in "speed bands" like this:

War of the Worlds

  • 01-Chapter 1 - 10 WPM/
  • 02-Chapter 2 - 11 WPM/
  • 03-Chapter 3 - 12 WPM/
  • 04-Chapter 4 - 13 WPM/
  • 05-Chapter 5 - 14 WPM/
  • 06-Chapter 6 - 15 WPM/
  • 07-Chapter 7 - 16 WPM/
  • 08-Chapter 8 - 17 WPM/
  • 09-Chapter 9 - 18 WPM/
  • 10-Chapter 10 - 19 WPM/
  • 11-Chapter 11 - 20 WPM/
  • 12-Chapter 12 - 21 WPM/
  • 13-Chapter 13 - 22 WPM/
  • 14-Chapter 14 - 23 WPM/
  • 15-Chapter 15 - 24 WPM/
  • 16-Chapter 16 - 25 WPM/
  • 17-Chapter 17 - 26 WPM/


Check out their list of text files:

War of the Worlds
Gettysburg Address
Jabberwocky
Night Before Christmas
Hams Christmas
The Raven
Alice in Wonderland
Tower Trouble
The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
Kubla Khan
The Enchanted Typewriter
My First Lie
T.S. Eliot, Cats

Holy crap, how cool is that?

I know there are some SKCC "celebrities" on the IOMH because they have really cool numbers. I'm boring; 1068.
Only had a few QSO's with it. Schade, schade, schade.
