I’m working on learning CW using LICW resources and various members have recommended you as additional resources.
30323 - VA3CXP - Chris - Brantford - ON
Advanced. I am learning code with a straight key. I've had a number of recommendations to join clubs. SKCC makes sense for me as it will give me opportunities to continue to learn, evolve the telegraphy craft and meet more like minded humans. Thank you.

Hello,
My license class is General. I have been practicing morse code for almost a year. I learned via youtube, and classes from the Long Island CW club. I use a straight key, and have a low power rig in southern California. I've noticed that much of the CW I hear, predominately 20 and 10 meters is very fast, I was hoping I might be able to meet some people in the SKCC to have conversations with on the the air at a lower speed. I am copying between ten and fifteen words per minute currently. Thanks for considering my application. I use a small straight key from CW Morse with my G90 HF radio.

I am an Extra Class. I knew enough CW to pass the exam way back when. I can send 10 wpm and copy <5wpm. I have always wanted to be a CW op, just never got there.
I have only straight keys: J47, J38, Radio Shack, Two Newly Acquired CW Morse keys. 2 Rockmites, and 2 Qrp kits to work on.

30331 - KE9DRW - Justin - DeForest - WI
General - CW is great!
30332 - G4IKJ - Paul - Worcester - ENG
Full (UK) licence.
Am currently (re-)learning CW with LICW BC2 classes, but finding on-air QSOs at a slow enough speed hard to find, so feel SKCC is likely to assist when I’m a little further along finding friendly QSO folks willing to send at my (currently quite) slow CW speeds, and then to provide achievable goals to ensuring ongoing motivation.
CW is hard when you have retired and thus forgotten how to learn!
p.s.
I have attended a few of LICW instructor Cathy W4CMG classes so she will recognise my name and callsign by now, and she gave a good SKCC intro session today, along with Pete WM4Q.

I’m extra class. I’ve been QRT for many years and am getting back into CW which I always enjoyed. I have an old Vibroplex bug which I have refurbished and am learning to use. I hear a lot of CQ WES” on the air and would like to be able to respond. Also, a straight key is likely in my future…]
