+Typical POTA/SOTA Exchange:
+RBN first CQ:
-Start with Koch Lesson 1, and then do for each lesson:
+''CQ CQ CQ SOTA DE GM5ALX GM5ALX GM5ALX K''
-• Koch Trainer Learn new Character (set speed to 15 WpM or slightly higher):
+Short CQ:
-• listen to the new character several times, trying to memorize the sound pattern
-• Repeat new character saying dit and dah (e.g. di-dah for an A)
-• Using the paddle enter the new character with the paddle, until you can do this without problems
-• Koch Trainer CW Generator - Random (15 - 17 WpM, Length Random Grp = 1, Interword Space = 20 up to 30), often, about 5 minutes each session
+<code>
-• Listen to characters and write them down
+CQ SOTA DE GM5ALX
-• Listen to characters and speak them with dits and dahs

-. Koch Trainer Echo Trainer, settings as above, but interword space = 7 to 9 , length random gap = 2 to 5
+  * GM - Good morning
-• Repeat the heard characters with the paddle, calling them out loud when you hear them (as „A“, „K“ etc)
+  * GA - Good afternoon
+  * GE - Good evening
+  * TU - Thank you
+  * ES - and
+  * GL - Good luck
+  * BK - back to you/me
+  * AGN? - again
-Do 2 and 3 often, until you are really confident and not making many mistakes anymore.
+Strings of dits, a mistake, then correct it.
-Beginning with lesson 5, you should add the following (set speed and itnerword space so that it is doable, but challenging for you):
-.  Koch Trainer CW Generator - CW Abbrevs and / or English words (set max length in the beginning to 3, later to 4, 5, 6 etc)
-• Listen and write them down
-• Listen and repeat them out loud (spelling the words as you hear them in Morse code)
-. Koch Trainer Echo Trainer - CW Abbrevs and/or English words, length as above
-• Repeat the heard words with the paddle, calling them out loud (decoding them in your head) when you hear them
-It is important to have a speed of at least 15 WpM - as soon as you feel confident with that speed, you could increase it slowly to 16, 17 or 18 WpM. Set inter-word space to a level that you can manage.
-You should do some training each day - and be it only for 5 - 10 minutes.
-When you have learned all characters (gone through all Koch lessons), you can start to increase your speed, and to decrease inter-word spacing.
-You will see soon what is working for you, and what is not - so by all means modify your training program accordingly.
