1985 had to do a 12 wpm send and receive exam to get a Class A licence to operate HF in UK. I read a lot about the brave men and women of SOE operating Morse code behind enemy lines I feel the history needs to be preserved. 73 Phil G0BVD

Great topic and video. I started as no code Tech but I went on to pass all the Morse Code tests.

I needed something to prove sufficient dedication to radio hobby to justify getting an HF radio. Learning what's necessary to get a license really doesn't take a whole lot of dedication but learning CW did.

Wow core memory unlocked.😅 Did I really learn some Morse code in cub scouts? 🤯 My wife is a Gold Award Girl Scout and she did too. 😂

I'm learning CW now to do more QRP SOTA/POTA while I'm out climbing mountains & lightweight backpacking. I always carry an FM handheld.

I learned CW because I don't have a voice for radio nor a face for SSTV!

I practice CW but I forgot to practice how to send CW on a keyboard. For FD. In the end, I guess I just send with a key - prefer a Bug. Not a fan of keyboards - sorry. No fun for me.
