One of my local 2 metre repeaters, GB3NB, carries regular Morse practice sessions under the callsign GB2CW. It seems to generate a small amount of traffic from participants and I suspect there are a lot more people listening, and hopefully learning or brushing up their code, than actually call in with scores. Yesterday they were doing 5-figure runs up to 30 wpm.

Of course there are software packages and commercial/military stations like NAV22 on 3881kHz that are available as well but the repeater sessions bring a bit of a "classroom" feeling to the sessions.

Cheers
