Just my opinion guys... Most radios have an electronic keyer built
in . My K3 does I use it. So it's straight key [ UGH] or electronic
key. If you want to send the letter A. It's DIT DAH. With a keyer it's

To each his own, whatever you enjoy. But for a different perspective, I
certainly enjoy being able to have a longer QSO and “chat” and do more than
just the quickie 599/QTH/73 type of contact. Running 20 wpm lets me do that a

I have wanted to learn CW and be a ham since I was 8. I started and
stopped 5 or 10 times in the next 52 years. I was finally licensed in Feb

as a General and upgraded to Extra 6 months later, but I was old school
enough to not consider myself a true ham until I could do CW, so I
As a long time high speed CW op, let me pass on an few of what I feel are the
keys to learning to receive effortlessly at QRQ levels. The goal is to get to
the point where listening to CW is exactly like listening to a conversation;
that is, there is no conscious translation from dits and

Good advice. You may be amused to hear MY version of reading some
printed material while listening for phrases. I spent 15 months in
west Germany (before the re-unification) as a guest of their gov't,
and took along my Kenwood TS-520 and a fold-up vertical. All of my

Good advice, Bill. Ignore us old fuddies.

I recall recently there was a discussion here (hope it was here and not on
QRP-L) about learning cw. There were 2 people put forth as guru's on the
topic.
One was Ron Stark, KU7Y, who's CD's are available on QRP ARCI in The Toy
Store.
But I can't recall for the life of me who the other

Congratulations, Martin!
I like to tell people, and there's *some* truth to the story, that the
reason that I've worked 99.9% CW for 50+ years now is that I put so much
time and energy into learning the code I wanted to get my money's worth out
of it!

Martin,
Keep up the great work. Please write an article about learning CW too and get
it circulated around. You can be an inspiration
After 40 years of CW as a ham, I find that sometimes I can have a QSO, read QST
or Watch TV at the same time. It just takes practice.
I still thing
Hello Martin,
Sincere congratulations, fantastic!!!. Many thanks for the inspiration and
kick-start as well. The local CW has drifted from reasonable down to
pathetic due to a long absence.
Nice to see you again.
