I am a general class, planning to upgrade to extra soon. I am also an electrical engineering student at Carnegie Mellon, and a member of the ham club there, W3VC. I have made a few CW contacts, and want to do more CW. I also much more enjoy the slower pace and more feeling I get when using a straight key compared to paddles. I also know that SKCC is a good way to get into doing more CW and becoming a better operator based on what other hams have told me!
