Amateur Extra. I've been getting into ham radio for a couple years now and am just now jumping into the world of CW. Speaking of... what kind of straight key do you recommend? I've been told a J-47 is pretty good, but that looks pretty old school...

I am new to CW and developing my skills. I think participating in the SKCC will help me to improve.

I have been learning CW online with the Long Island CW Club. As I start getting on the air, I would like to use every resource available as I continue to learn with my straight key.

Full licence. SKCC is right for me because I learned last 2 years CW with the straight on the Morse Academy on the old steam ship SS Rotterdam.

Basic with Honours, & Advanced. Starting to learn about Morse code and some of my club members belong to SKCC so I thought I would apply. Thanks

Extra - I went up through all the license classes under the code rules. I used my straight key for all operations in getting my license and then kept up with it for several years. I then took another look at CW and have been into it ever since.
So many of the people I have met online in the CW world speak highly of the SKCC group and how supportive its members are.
I am looking to be a part of something that is focused on preserving the art of using a straight key for OTA communications and teaching others how to get into this fascinating aspect of the hobby. SK

General. Met KA3BPN on the air and he told me about SKCC, he was so friendly I had to check it out.

29789 - WB5UTM - Scot - Alexandria - LA
Extra. Since retiring in 2020, I have been trying to re-engage in Amateur Radio, most recently trying to reacquire CW skills. SKCC was recommended by a couple Hams who operate a CW training organization. After reviewing the material on the website, I find there is much more to SKCC than I had realized. Many thanks, Scott WB5UTM

Extra, I am interested in getting back into Morse code. Back in the mid-80's I passed the 20wpm code test when I upgraded from Advanced to Extra. Afterwards I used it very little and haven't been on the radio since about 2004. Now last year I got back into the hobby, discovered POTA and enjoy it very much making over 3000 contacts in the past 6 months. I am now wishing to get back into Morse code but I am very rusty. I think being a part of this group could help me a lot to improve my code. Thanks, Mike de W4MK

I've been trying to learn CW for years on and off, just when I start getting the characters down I give up. I've been using a straight key but just recently bought a dual paddle thinking it would make learning easier. I've been with LICW and took the CWAcademy course (said I could do 5 WPM) anyway, anything I learned I've forgotten.
