29970 - WA7KOE - Craig - Canton - OH
License class is Amateur Extra. I am new to CW / Morse code and feel SKCC will help me to build confidence in making CW QSO's and increasing my receiving speed among a group of like minded individuals who were once in my place.
29971 - N1TOR - Mike - Newton - MA
I’ve been a Technician for years but finally got on HF and started using the old Novice bands in CW. I tried an electronic keyer but I enjoy the challenge of making my own dits and dahs with a 60 year old military surplus straight key. I’m studying for General now so I can get on more bands and communicate no matter what the ionosphere is doing. There is something really neat about having an entire conversation encoded in a pattern of beeps. I just worked my first DX on CW (Austral Islands) and now I hope to get a CW DXCC to go along with my Mixed award.

29974 - N2PLG - Frank - Deltona - FL
Extra Class, I operate CW cootie and bug. Student of the CWI and CWA and fellow students speak nothing but praises of SKCC
29975 - KC2QFM - Chris - Beachwood - NJ
I recently earned my general and am practicing for my extra. I've previously had my Technician for almost 20 years before this however my Father in Law asked about earning his Technician and this rekindled my interest in radio. As for why straight keys, truthfully I despise modern electronics and think it is very important to preserve the history and uniqueness of the old ways. Without people around dedicated to the art, it will die.
29976 - WA8GMX - Bruce - Massillon - OH

29981 - EA4HQQ - Javi - Madrid - ESP
My license is class EA and I consider the club to be a good place to develop CW and to be able to learn and improve myself with the help of the best telegraphers.
29982 - BI1UHW - Sel - Beijing - CHN
I licensed Class B in Mainland China (HF/VHF/UHF TX permitted). History has proven that we can have quality CW TX/RX using only manual telegraph keys and headset. Automatic encoding/decoding or correction software or hardware is completely unnecessary, and using them to pretend having a good skill is an insult to HAM who have trained hard on manual keys.
