Well, passed my element one with no problems yesterday and have been trying
to
get some contacts on hf with cw. I love cw but 5wpm just isn't cutting it so
I
am back to Numorse to bring up my speed. Anyone out there that tried a
contact
with me, sorry. I was forever putting out QRS and still not getting it all.
I
will be back though as I cannot use phone when the baby is sleeping. The
light
*tick-ticking* on the straight key doesn't disturb her as much as me talking.

Thanks

How refreshing! A new ham who actually passes his General, gets OTA
with CW, and isn't whining about it! I'm especially impressed by the fact
that Mr. Doughty is a new father with a young baby, but is not using that
as an excuse not to get in some operating time! Moreover, the non-voice
nature of CW is giving him the means to do so without disturbing the
harmonic's slumbers. Good work, BBL! Carry on, and I hope to work you
someday!
