While not specific to Elecraft, I'm forwarding this to the reflector because there has been a lot of discussion from time to time about the use of code readers and the like. The best code reader is your brain and you can learn CW as evidenced by the high success rate of the CWA. If you are a slower CW op who would like to participate in a friendly competition please come join the fun.

The CWOps club also sponsors a CW training program called CW Academy (<http://www.cwops.org/cwacademy.html>), with three sessions a year, ending in March, June and November. On the occasions of those graduations, we vary the routine of the CWTs slightly. In the second week of March, June and November, everyone taking part in the CWTs is asked to keep their CW speed down to 20 wpm or less in order to welcome new graduates who are not yet ready to cope with the usual higher CW speeds. Also, past and present students and advisors are asked to send CWA in place of the usual membership number or state/province/country code in the exchange. Everyone is always welcome to join in. This week, though, please moderate your CW speed in order to make it more fun and less stressful for the new CW Academy graduates. Time: March 9, 1300-1400Z; 1900-2000Z; and March 10, 0300-0400Z. Frequencies: approx. 28 kHz above the bottom of the band and upwards Exchange: Name plus CWOps membership number, "CWA", or state, province or country code Logs: No log submission, just report your results at 3830scores.com Thanks, and CU in the CWTs. 73, Rich VE3KI CWOps CWT manager _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list [email protected] http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/cq-contest ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
