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 :-)
