CW Talk

Great web app to practice your CW for CQs, pile-ups, contests, and POTA

I wrote this Guide from the perspective of hams in the United States. Many of my references, for example to frequencies and to radio propagation, pertain to amateur radio in North America, although most of the CW operating techniques I discuss apply to worldwide CW operation. -- by Jack Wagoner WB8FSV

I've been learning CW and wanted to start sharing some of the sites and docs that I've been using!

A quick look at how the movie The Exorcist from 1973 has links to the late great Alan Turing via Mike Oldfield’s album Tubular Bells, Scotland and Amateur Radio.

At the world Morse Code championships in Tunisia, competitors must battle to be the fastest and most accurate at sending and receiving Morse code.

THE ZOMBIE SHUFFLE is an annual afternoon/evening event for QRPers to get on the air, have some fun, and rack up a really big score in spite of what your CW or operating skills may be. It is held the Friday nearest Halloween each year and to avoid the ARRL CW Sweepstakes contest.

Hello, I saw this community has zero posts and I thought, this should be a good start. Sharing with fellow CW lovers out there.

I started my HF journey last year in August. My first (failed) attempt at CW QSO in Nov 23. Then, I gave up. Restarted CW in March this year. Around that time, I gave up FT8 and also SSB. Still work SSB but not FT*. So, yeah, I am proud of myself to have achieved this. Some folks said, oh big deal, one can achieve this over a contest weekend. Maybe they can - for me it was significant work. Next goal SKCC 100. :-) 73 de VU2TUM

As it is now, with two small kids, I don't have the time to devote to contesting. I do absolutely love going on the air after bedtime and chatting with other CW ops.

Which do you prefer?

How are you learning CW?

Self study? CW Ops class?
