New club for Morse enthusiasts
In Jeff Davis
wrote: At 50 I don't think I'm the oldest guy in the room but it sure seems like a long time since I enjoyed a QSO without being asked if I had this or that number to exchange. And I blame that on the endless string of little CW clubs that sprout like mushrooms in the spring... I've been around for a while myself (licensed 49 years -today!) and have adopted and dropped many operating roles in that time. I'm currently strictly a CW operator, recently gave up chasing DX due to the lack of sunspots, and I'm now trying contesting. So, it's been a while since I've had a "real" QSO. Still, if I slide up above 14025, I find US CW operators, obviously relative newcomers, holding what I'd certainly call traditional person-to-person conversations on CW. You know that since they don't have to operate CW any more, they're there because they like it. There's certainly a similar neighborhood on 40 or elsewhere where you'll find the same sort of activity. I'm sure any one of them would welcome the chance to have an extended chat with anyone who's willing to slow down a bit and would probably benefit from the chance to listen to "good" CW. And, I doubt that any of them have any numbers to exchange :-) -- Bert Hyman W0RSB St. Paul, MN |
