I have an Extra Class license. I think membership in the SKCC would be good for me to help improve my CW skills, but also to honor the art of sending with a straight key.

Started ham journey in late 70's worked my way up through Novice, General, Advanced and finally Extra Class. Looking to get back to my roots using the straight key.

Gen Class. I'm interested in CW. Just starting out. I like the thought of using straight keys as opposed to mechanic or electrical assisted. I'd rather be slower with clean code than fast. After all it's not a race.

Amateur Extra. I’m very interested in improving my CW skills and the activities of the organization would certainly help to that end.

General. Finally decided to bite the bullet of CW. Sent in my check for LICW club. Have a cootie key labelled "Llaves Artesanas Telegraficas" and a cwmorse.us camel back. Figure I'm going to need patient people as I begin to pound my key(s) and SKCC seems a good bet.
Cheers!

Extra Class license holder - Joined LICW Club as life member, have learned some CW and have gotten on the air with CW starting 01/01/24. Would like to learn from more experienced members of SKCC as well. CW is the secret for operating the small QRP transmitters that I love to build as they don't do SSB, hihi!

29477 - LU6DOT - Dot - Quilmes - ARG

I like CW and I like to operate with the Bug.
Today 01/09/2025 I worked K3Y/KH6 (KH6ZM SKCC #727S, MAX) with my Bug VBPLX ORIG STD YEAR 1952.

I like the challenge of sending clearly with a straight key. I usually use paddles, and I'd like to mix it up.

No CW emissions since long before I got this call
and it's time to change that...

I really want to master CW to (A) Increase my reach with a modest power output and antenna setup; (B) Use for QRP ops (which are even more modest with regard to power and antenna); (C) To be able to hold QSOs more "quietly"; (D) To hold QSOs of a civil and polite nature (rather than some of the political and outrageous conversations sometimes found on SSB)

General. Been a HAM only about 6 months but quickly have fallen for CW. During a recent CW QSO it was recommended that I try SKCC (not sure if it matters, but I was having a CW QSO with KA1CPR, Wayne, who sent me a QSL card afterwards with his SKCC number, 23394T). I don't own a straight key - yet - but I'm sure this will motivate me to try it!

Extra - Got ticket 25 years ago when 20 WPM was a requirement. CW is my first love. Straight key feels more in control than when when using a keyer!

My license is a General Class. - I think SKCC is right for me because I'm currently a LICW member and learning CW on a straight key. I also made my first two QSOs with a straight key. First QSO was with my CW Elmer who was a radio operator in the USCG (KT4WA - SKCC #21789), and my second QSO was with a straight key. I enjoy the history behind straight keys and that some of them have a story behind them. Eventually, I would like to have a small collection of SKs that have seen service in the past. I also think that it's great that there is an organization dedicated to SKs and keeping it alive. Being part of that is also a reason I would love to join the SKCC. Thank you and 73 - KQ4EIC

I'm attempting to learn to use CW properly and have found that I much prefer both sending and receiving via straight key. I don't know anyone else to practice with and the SKCC is highly recommended all over the sites I visit
Thank you for your consideration. 73- Anna

Full. I collect Morse keys and regularly chat using straight keys and occasionally bugs. Morse code is my first love and my primary ham radio mode of communications since I was first licenced in 1980.
Looking forward to many QSOs with other SKCC members and participating in contests
