Ever consider getting your ham license and learning CW? CW is really

You don't need to actually "learn" CW to monitor it. There are several
FREE programs which decode via your computer sound card.


Are you thinking of any programs in particular? I've tried a number of
free software decoders (and a KAM+) and none of them are anywhere near
as good as my ears and brain.


I use fldigi. Not frequently for CW. It's kind of fun to watch W1AW
code practice. Maybe if I stare long enough I'll be facile in code
(probably not...)
