NEW CW OPS TRY THE SKCC FOR SLOW SPEED CONTACTS

[@russpeck1320]

Your video has certainly convinced me to come back to CW and to join the SKCC. I had about 12 words per minute years ago, but am very rusty, so find the typical QSO's intimidating. Now I know where to go to get better! Your humbleness and willingness to show a QSO with all the warts left in is very inspirational. Fine work! 73

Thank you, that is really why I do them. I definitely am still learning and it can be intimidating to anyone new to CW. I like to let them see we all make mistakes and to keep at it. I was 12 wpm back in 1990 and didn't touch it again until 2023. But really enjoying it now.

Thanks for video. I’m SKCC NR 5013S and I have not met a member who didn’t enjoy working a new op. Welcome to the club and I hope to see you on the air. Les WB5JWI

Hello, Seriously thinking of learning the code. Thank you Carl BTW..... Why are the A,S,D, and W keys lit up on your keyboard?

[@ve3svq-theshakykey440]

I hope you do try CW its a lot of fun once you get into it. Someone told me those keys light up because the computer was designed for gaming although I don't use it for that purpose.

@@ve3svq-theshakykey440 ......Yes the gaming keyboard would be good for my old tired eyes
