hope to make Extra by 4/15!). Had a license in the early 80's as a Novice but never got on the air. Want to use Morse Code as a way to get round the world on a small rig. Lots of good stuff here!

I am learning CW and "ham radio" to become a Technician. I don't have a call sign, but I'm getting help from Claude Harwood (AA0IQ) in learning code and "ham radio". Well I do know how what 73 means. So 73, and have a great day.

I was a Morse intercept operator in the Air Force from 1962-1965. I was stationed on Okinawa and Crete but both those installations are now defunct. I used to be able to copy about 40 words a minute, but I'm sure 20-25 would be my limit now. I occasionally can pick up some code on my short-wave radio, but not very often. Thanks for the page.

It's a great place to let new and old hams review the proper operating procedures of CW and a refresher on the Q codes. I plan on forwarding your page to other hams in the neighborhood. I first held a novice license in the 60's and let it expire. Thoughs days you only had a year before you had to upgrade or loose it. I know hold a General license and just recently passed my 20wpm code test. Your comments and suggestions on how to increase your code speed are right on track. I love CW and rarely pick up a microphone unless it's on 2 meters or 220MHz. Keep up the good work. 73, Buddy

i grew up listening to/watching my dad (w1rn) on the radio; he grew up watching his dad do the same thing. my grandfather was a radio operator for the merchant marine-i guess my dad just did it because he liked it. my grandfather passed away last year...ever since then i've wanted to learn code. i'm hoping for a website that lets me practice by clicking my mouse! :-) thanks for an informative page.

He's restoring a Heath stn and will be on HF soon. We'll be on cw nightly and this info will give the confidence to follow established procedure and be relaxed on the air.. This page is a 10. Thanks

Hi Jack, I was a Ham back in 1958 - 1960's, K1PXW. I was one of the younger Ham's of that time (10 years old). As I grew into my teens, other interest came to me and I let my license lapse. I'm now in my 50's and the "bug" for Ham radio is still with me. I'm going to try to get my license back but realize that I need to brush up on my code in order to do this. Your book will certainly help.

Jack, Great website and a great service to Amateur Radio. I have had my license for 10 years (novice) and now that it is about to expire I feel I want to get a ham setup running. I have just renewed online at FCC. Believe it or not I never did get on the air the first 10 years. Your page on CW was just what I was looking for. I sure will bookmark this website. I will be looking for a reasonable QRP-low transceiver. I'm 61 years old and have been interested since I was 17 years old guess it's time I got it done. Thanks very much for a great info site.

As a Speech Pathologist and daughter of a Ham operator, I was looking for a copy of the Morse Code for one of my students who is working on root words. Tele- is one of the roots and he hadn't the foggiest idea what a telegraph key is and had never heard of the Morse Code. He's in eighth grade! I thought it'd be interesting to actually have him learn to write a few messages in Morse Code. My dad is loaning me his key, but has to search for a written copy of the code. I thought I might be lucky doing a search. Oh, well...you're web site is very informative and I'll give the address the my student if he seems interested. CTD 1/8/00
