29618 - AB0XR - Ransom - Asheville - NC
EXTRA. I am studying CW in the CW Academy beginner class and have been using a paddle, but think a straight key is a better choice. I am buying a straight key and would like to be involved in the SKCC activities.

29624 - VA7NRC - Chef - West Vancouver - BC
Basic with Honours
I know many fellow hams who are SKCC members and I would like to join in on the fun! I am just learning CW but very eager and it is much more attractive to me than FT8 or the other data modes. Continuous Wave propagation is an incredible thing to witness and anything that can improve my DX capability or ability to make contacts in general is a very attractive proposition for me. I have enjoyed (for years) monitoring SDR receivers, my favourite being at the university of Twente, to monitor for CW conversations and jot down what I hear and try to translate it to see what is going on in the qso. I also really enjoy the feel of a straight key and wish to avoid any modern computerized autokeys and the like. I look forward to becoming a member of this very well known and respected organization.

I started out on a J38 (the old Radio Shack brass version) 40 years ago to get my Novice, and as I age I have a very difficult time with a keyer and the speed they work at. I am finding I do better with a straight key in my practicing to relearn the CW mode that I enjoyed so much decades ago.
