Expert. Because I believe that straight key will never die.

Good morning. I'm a general class cw-only ham who got licensed last year. I do a POTA activation every day, so I have QSOs with SKCC members every day--bug, straight key, you name it.
I was at the Fort Wayne Hamfest yesterday with a cw crew and met Ed Zobac WA9BBN and his wife, so I'm applying this morning.
Why do I think SKCC is right for me? Because the SKCC does so much for the cw community.

Also, I'm a librarian at a university. Our collections are riddled with technology that nobody can operate anymore. If the SKCC doesn't preserve using straight keys, nobody else will. I see it every day.

Amateur Extra Class as of this summer. I'm a student at university finishing my undergraduate. I'm an amateur radio enthusiast doing amateur research in Morse and I'm in need of some pointers from some willing Elmers - picking up the skill in a rural part of a rural state has been a challenge so far.

I've bought a QCX mini off QRP labs and I'm looking to put it together over Thanksgiving break so I can use it in the Spring as I pursue a research grant. I'm interested both in learning to be proficient in Morse, and also studying it - particularly the challenge of decoding Morse in instances of intense QRM, QRN, and in non-ideal conditions. After I'm done with my undergrad, I'd like to go on potentially into electrical engineering or something along those lines.

I am learning CW with a straight key. I think SKCC is the right place for improving my CW.

I currently hold an Amateur Extra class license under U.S. FCC callsign N9BO.This license authorises full phone and CW privileges on all amateur bands, and demonstrates my commitment to operating safely, respectfully, and in compliance with amateur regulations. Why SKCC is right for me? I have a strong interest in Morse code (CW) operation, both as a traditional amateur hobby, and as a way to preserve and honour radio-heritage techniques. My goal is to honour the legacy of manual telegraphy, refine my CW skills, exchange SKCC numbers, and participate actively in SKCC events and nets.

Amateur Extra. SKCC is a great community for making friends and for developing skills around mechanical keys.

Extra. This seems like fun.

KG4IMO AG Previously a Tech plus while I wait for the FCC to update my upgrade. I've been trying to learn the code since age 7, then at 11, but without much luck. At 17, I was able to get my Tech plus, but I didn't purse the code afterwards.

Now, I have been at it more than any other time in the past 3 months, and starting to learn to head copy. My dad started me with a straight-key at 7, and I have always come back to it. My current key is a J45 J37, and an Amazon K4. I still prefer them.

Extra I plan on getting back into CW. It has been a long time since I used CW. At 76 years old it takes longer to get it back.

Back to operating lately. Have been collecting a few keys and just finishing restoring an old Navy flameproof. Hope to participate in the sprints and other activities.

Extra Class CW nut. I have been using a Vibroplex (bug) since I started in Amateur Radio back in the 80's (N6PME). Still using it exclusively.
