I am still learning CW. I know i can pass the 5wpm test, but i want more! My ear is slowing me down since i have to find a pitch i can hear good. I seemed to hit a wall at this point. I am now going to start using the G4FON program to see if it helps! All i know to do is keep pushing! Like your club, maybe once i can work CW ill check it out! 73's Joe
Joe... 5wpm is all you need to get started. The folks at NAQCC would love to see you join and participate in the sprints. And it will help you increase your speed. Hitting the wall at 5wpm is normal so don't worry about it. Just relax.
thanks Ron, when do these sprints take place and at what frequency. could you give me the e-mail address again for the club? at the moment I'm not even certified. I went to the test building a few months ago and I was stood up. (they changed locations) so now instead of testing for the tech license, I will also test for general and CW at the same time ( I think it's allowed) also I am limited to the 10 m band in at the moment ( 28.0-28.310) once I'm certified I will buy another radio. Thanks Joe
Hi Ron,
Looked at some of your videos and really like them. You and I have much in common. CW, electronic repairs, aviation, and love for animals.
I own a small business DSM Labs.. w w w dot dsmlabs dot com
I repair mainly R 390 and R 390A receivers but also work on Hammarlund and others as well.
Thanks for the great videos.
73,

And they say Morse Code is dead. Yeah right! Just listen to the HF bands and you will hear the sweet music called CW
