Getting back into Ham Radio after a few years out. Originally from the UK where my callsign was G4VMG and also worked in Gabon as TR8JWH. USed to pound the key but lost the touch and speed so now getting back into it with a variety of keys. I was recently bequeathed a Vibroplex Champion from 1957 which belonged to a good freind who was a Radio Officer in the British Merchant navy where I was a Captain. So it felt appropriate to pick up this key in in memory. They eky is from my birth year too !! 73 John

I want to get back into using code. Back in the mid 80’s I was able to copy 20+wpm but now I can barely do 7 wpm. Most members of my club don’t do code and those that do are doing 30 wpm and don’t want to slow it down.

20749 - W2HDY - Jim - Versailles - KY
I've been a ham for 64 years but not on the air for at least 30. I remember my novice year and after working CW with a straight key and I'd like to get back to that enjoyment. I'm working to get a QRP station on the air. Wish me luck.

20754 - N4UJ - Gene - Lilburn - GA
I have been licensed for 62 years (WG6AHH- Guam, 1957)and think that I would enjoy belonging to a group that supports "manual radiotelegraphy", although lately I have not been able to be on the air as much as I used to be. I enjoy using my straight keys and old bugs.
20755 - W9HZJ - Dan - Glen Ellyn - IL
I was originally licensed in 1975 as a technician, WB9SFC. I upgraded to a 13wpm Advanced, and then an Extra when the code requirement stopped. I lost use of my ability to speak clearly a couple of years ago do to mouth surgery, am recently retired, and realize that if I want to remain in amateur radio, my most fulfilling option is returning to CW as my full-time modern for enjoyment. I would like to join SKCC, to be a part of a group where I can make contact on the air with others who love the hobby and mode, and where I can improve my own skills, and help others to become a better straight-key operator. I changed my call about 3 years ago to W9HZJ, my silent-key dad’s call. Thank you.

Re-entering the hobby after an absence. First licensed in 1975, and was always primarily a cw operator. Having fun building speed again. Thanks!

Newly returning operator (after about 30 years absence). Very slow and rusty on CW
20763 - KW4TAT - John - Chapel Hill - NC
I obtained my licence a couple of years ago. I have always loved the science behind making home brew connects around the world. I am using a yaesu 857d as my only rig as I plan to ride the TAT and or walk the AT and activate mobile. SOTA is a goal of mine. Languages like Morse Code and its history intrigue me. (reading "Titanic. Signals of Disaster". White Star Publications). Not sure how many world wide operators there are but I hope to be among them! Thank you for organizing this club and promoting "slow key" events! 73 KW4TAT

Used to be fairly proficient but hadn't really used morse since 1992 when I retired from the U.S. Army. Just got back into ham radio after a 30 year hiatus. Really need to become proficient in speed and especially procedures. Thanks and 73
