NOVICE CW OPERATORS TRY THE SKCC FOR CONTACTS

Many novice CW operators complain they can’t find people sending slow enough. But in reality, there are plenty of people sending QRS (slow speed). One place to look is the SKCC web site and Sked page. Great organization with many members who will help a new operator out. Watch and see what I mean.

Your video has certainly convinced me to come back to CW and to join the SKCC. I had about 12 words per minute years ago, but am very rusty, so find the typical QSO's intimidating. Now I know where to go to get better! Your humbleness and willingness to show a QSO with all the warts left in is very inspirational. Fine work!

Thank you, that is really why I do them. I definitely am still learning and it can be intimidating to anyone new to CW. I like to let them see we all make mistakes and to keep at it. I was 12 wpm back in 1990 and didn't touch it again until 2023. But really enjoying it now.

Hello,
Seriously thinking of learning the code.
Thank you
Carl
BTW..... Why are the A,S,D, and W keys lit up on your keyboard?

[@ve3svq-theshakykey440]

I hope you do try CW its a lot of fun once you get into it. Someone told me those keys light up because the computer was designed for gaming although I don't use it for that purpose.

[@ravenhhca]

@@ve3svq-theshakykey440 ......Yes the gaming keyboard would be good for my old tired eyes

Thanks for video. I’m SKCC NR 5013S and I have not met a member who didn’t enjoy working a new op. Welcome to the club and I hope to see you on the air.
