Posted: 2021-01-01 10:58 | Happy New Year!
Today it is exactly two years ago I set my goal of learning the code, and began my training. I'm nowhere near 46wpm, and right now I'm just happy that I can call, and answer a CQ, and conduct a QSO on the bands! Best decision ever! So to everybody out there considering the same, I'll say - just do it! You won't regret it. |

Posted: 2021-01-01 15:48 | It really has no sense, 20 to 25 wpm plain text is all you will ever need.
I even think, when I should have used the time involved in exercsing Morse code, by writing a book, painting a picture, or building furniture out of wood, or just earn money by a paid job like distributing newspapers each morning, I should left something when I die, however decoding Morse code proficiency is lost the moment I die. |

Posted: 2021-01-02 01:53 | Gordon, Hams right now, present in masses, are in average not comparable with the small group of hams, licensed if allowed, nearly a century ago in my youth.
I rest my case. |

Posted: 2021-01-02 10:08 | Please, nonagenarian, do commence writing that book you mention! I have taken your advice many times from within this forum, also from before this site had its lock-down period. I promise, I will definitely read it, and your good advice will be both here, and written in a book forever!
By the way, don't you think CW is being practised beyond...?? :) |

Posted: 2021-01-02 12:23 | I understand you completely, because my opinion is the same. The new Hams are integrated in pure electronics, like PCs and using FT4 + 8 etc. This is not your way I think and also not mine.
It´s not only a Hobby for itself, it´s a special sort of live. ;-) |

I vote for a morse book, it will survive you. Or give Morse course for young or old people on air. |

I'm on air since July 2020 (at least I try, nearly every day). I'll not speak about speed, that is not so important than precision, I think. Speed will come, I'm sure. HNY 73 Rüdiger DD5RK |
