I have been a member of LICW since January and want to add additional opportunities for CW QSOs. SKCC has been recommended by many LICW instructors and Teri Beard. I have reviewed parts of your website. My short term goal is to move from averaging 1 QSO a day to 10 a day. Thank you.

30093 - VE3SOJ - Sam - Hamilton - ON
As a Canadian amateur radio operator holding a Basic with Honours license, I am drawn to SKCC because of my passion for traditional CW (Morse code) operations and straight-key operating. The club's dedication to preserving the art of hand-sent Morse code aligns perfectly with my operating preferences and desire to maintain these classic amateur radio skills.
I'm particularly interested in participating in SKCC's various activities and awards programs, which will help me improve my CW proficiency while connecting with like-minded operators who share an appreciation for the fundamentals of amateur radio communication.
The club's emphasis on courteous operating practices and mentorship appeals to me, as I am eager to both learn from experienced members and eventually help newcomers to CW.
SKCC's welcoming community and focus on slow-speed CW operation makes it an ideal environment for me to develop my skills at a comfortable pace while enjoying meaningful QSOs with operators who prioritize quality communication over speed. I look forward to contributing to the club's mission of keeping the tradition of straight key operations alive and thriving.

Technician. I got into ham radio specifically to learn how to operate CW. I need some guidance and I'd like to try to meet other hams who live straight key CW. My goal is to be proficient to the point it comes natural and I can operate at 15-20wpm. Ideally find others who need practice also
