Here is the corrected translation, with the key change highlighted:

I am drawn to the ideas of SKCC because I started learning Morse code back in school, almost 40 years ago. And it was on a straight key. An electronic key was a rarity in our town at that time.

Unfortunately, circumstances only allowed me to return to radio a few years ago. Nowadays, I mostly operate digital modes on the air, that's true. The city is too noisy to receive voice, and weak telegraph signals get lost in the noise as well.

But digital is different. It's not the live ether you can hear, so now I am rebuilding my skill of receiving telegraphy by ear.

As well as transmitting. Transmitting with an electronic key is like typing on a typewriter-you lose individuality and handwriting. That's why I am restoring my skills of operating a straight key.
