Recently returned to ham radio after a 50+ year absence. Have been elmering my 12 year old grandson, new ham KC3MSU, and we are learning Morse Code together. Many of the slow code operators I hear on the air are SKCC members, so we should fit in. My grandson still has a way to go before he's ready to have a CW QSO, but I will eventually have him join SKCC, too.

As a kid I remember watching and listening to my Dad, (KØQBR) now SK, work CW with a straight key back in the late 1950's and early 60's. CW has always been my main attraction to HAM radio since then. I enjoy CW very much and want to keep manual, straight key CW alive!

Finally ready to get over the (imagined) fear and nervousness of CW. Funny, never really wanted to learn CW until it was no longer required! Hope to develope good skills and learn along the way. Goal is to be able to contest someday and once CW is a second language to me, be able to mentor someone in the mode as well. Thanks for the welcome, and i look forward to a QSO soon with many of you!
20288 - KD6WYH - Tony - Petaluma - CA

I have held a Novice license since 1978. I've kept it up to date with the FCC ever since. I am now working on my TECH and GENERAL tickets and I want to get back in to code. I learned it to get my Novice ticket. I want to use it again when I get one or both of my tickets next month.
20293 - KL7FHX - George - Austin - TX
I want to get back on HFCW. Long story: I got my novice ticket in 1964, and I enjoyed SKCW with a low power rig. Now, I am going on 82, and I need to reactivate my cw prowess :)
20294 - M0BPU - Trevor - Bexhill-on-Sea - ENG

20298 - KF5ZIM - Gregg - ROGERS - AR
Watched the Cliff N4CCB video and it got me hooked.
20299 - N0CC - Chris - Green Brook - NJ
I started out in the 60s in the ARRL traffic system. I’ve always enjoyed CW operation - traffic handling back then and contests . I was inactive for a number of years and am just getting back into it. My rig has a built in keyer but I want to get back to basics. I picked up a vintage Hamkey straight key and I’ve been practicing to get some of the rust off my fist. Joining SKCC seemed the natural thing to do.
20300 - KF7GNY - Brion - Ogden - UT
always wanted to learn/use morse code; now learning and want use my skill without having to worry about finding myself doing QSO with hams using paddles and keyers
20301 - 2E0AAO - Stephen - Stoke On Trent - ENG

I got a taste of straight-key operation during a recent SKCC event by setting my iambic paddle into straight-key mode on the rig; while not an ideal input device, that inspired me to acquire a proper key. I look forward to participating in similar future events with other members.
