A suggestion I didn't see suggested - mine is ditch the cw readers. If you
use a reader, cw is going to be purely digital and its not meant to be that.Its
not ft8! Yes get over the shy thing too. You won't get a report card on your
Qso ability. You know what they say - the more you do it - - -.It will get to
be fun, or it should. Thats the way its supposed to work anyway, hi.
CW is a special thing but when you can get your head to read it instead of a
reader it might surprise you. You're missing a lot with a reader I think.
Just my opinion. GL Mike.

I have received many very good suggestions which I will give a try. I think
the term “key shyness” is what I need to get over.
All were very good suggestions! Thanks.
Several questions (2) about readers. I find the Elecraft K3s, and KX3 readers
along with the K42, CWGet and fldigi readers to all be equal over time. My
favorite reader is “CW Morse” which runs on Mac OS and iOS. They all seem to
detract from the fun of the hunt in some way.
Again, thanks for the nudges and pushes which I will try. Time to close the
thread I suppose.
