Good morning from this side of the pond. People have been predicting the demise of CW for years but, certainly over here since the removal of the necessity to pass the code test to get a licence the amount of Amateurs learning the code seems to be on the increase. Certainly at the clubs around here CW lessons are well subscribed. I wonder if our friend in Alaska is a CW op or has ever learnt it?.
