Profile Information:

Your Call Sign: DF7TV
How many years have you been performing QRQ CW: Four years
What speed do you like to run QRQ CW: Presently 45 wpm; increasing by present training.
Your favorite key, paddle or bug: Schurr Profi 2 dual-lever paddle
Your favorite cw keyboard: No cw keyboard used so far. I think I'll use one as soon as I can no longer send code accurately using a paddle.
Your favorite cw sending software: Not used so far
Your Rig, Antenna and RF Power: TS-590S,SPE Expert 1k-FA, X7 beam, up to 1 kW.
(Rig at club station DK0SU as shown on my QRZ.COM page)
Your QSK preferences: Full-QSK when using the TS-590S transceiver only. When using the amp (SPE Expert 1k-FA) Full-QSK is not possible; but timing is set such that I may hear between words.
Your favorite headphones or speakers for listening to cw: Headphones including a volume regulator. That allows to optimize the readability of code during sending and receiving.
What has been your most effective way of training practice, to copy and send qrq cw: https://www.qsl.net/df7tv/morse-code-training.html

Listening to continuous texts (ebooks) or QSOs seems to be the most efficient way to improve proficiency.

For training sending, I am using a pleasant monitor tone of the sineCW60 plugin
