Two More CW Links

September 3, 2004 By 1 Comment

I’m getting more comfortable at 24 wpm. My last three QSOs have been at 24 wpm. I really wish more people would find CW as much fun as I do. Here are a couple of links that might help.

One of the obstacles to operating CW is, oddly enough, the lack of knowledge of how to do that. I say oddly because back when I got into ham radio, Novices were allowed to operate only CW, and this is one of the first things we learned. Now that most hams get a no-code Tech license first, knowing how to make CW QSOs is not common knowledge.

To help new hams learn about CW operation, WB8FSV has written A Beginner’s Guide to Making CW Contacts. This article has lots of good information on how to start a CW QSO, what to talk about during a CW QSO, and how to gracefully end a CW QSO. I plan to recommend this to everyone interested in working CW.

There are many other good Internet resources. The W5WWW Morse Code Links page lists many good ones. Unfortunately, some of the links are broken, and there are some that need to be added, but even so, this is a great resource for those learning and using Morse code.
