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!

Just sent my first few CW test messages to check prop; “TEST ”. It’s the about the only characters I have down solid. Downside is “TEST” is also abbreviation for “CONTEST” so I also had people trying to QSO. Sorry if that was you!

Nice resource, bookmarked! So far I've only been periodically hitting the reverse beacon network as a test, while I try to get my copying skills up to scratch.
