I resemble that slow code remark... As a relatively new licensee (about
14yrs), I never did much with CW other than pass the code element for
General. Lately I've been making an effort to get more proficient with
CW, as in haven't used a mic in at least 2 months other than a couple of
local 10m rag chews. I find myself dragging my KX3 around with me
everywhere I go, so thanks to Elecraft for designing such a capable yet
portable rig.
My sincerest thanks to all those that stop by the slow code portions of
the bands to help others learn and improve!

Yes, 15M was also my favorite band as a Novice.
It may be "ancient" but it's still active, and still an official band
segment for Novice/Techs (21.025-21.200 MHz). The same goes for the
Novice/Tech segment of 40M (7.025-7.125). There is a lot of activity at the
top end of the old Novice segment of 40M. You can often find relatively slow
code CW QSOs from 7.120-7.125.
Stop in and work these stations! There are many who frequent these segments.
I know many FISTS and SKCC members who hang out in these areas. Some other
folks are working on getting their code speed up. Not because they _have
to_, but because they want to. I know a few "lifetime" Novices, that are
active, but have no intention of upgrading.
