W1AW also sends Morse Code practice on VHF, if you live close enough.
But I don't think 8-land is close enough.

Definitely, maybe the supposed field organizations can get together to
rebroadcast the transmissions?? Sounds like an actual good idea.


If not, Jim can tell you how to build an Elecraft K1 out of junk box
parts, or something like that.

Nice idea, but it will be deaf, as that is the problem until I move, which
won't be happening for another 2 years. Will have to suffer till then.

Yeah, that might be true if you have HF capability........

I've sed it before I'll say it again: The W1AW code practice sessions
and getting on the air ASAP are the best methods out there for
learning the code. The 1AW sessions are reliable, they're not
repetitive and you can pace yourself without breaking a sweat
depending on your own set of learning curve variables. Yes it's
Farnsworth and 1AW Farnworth has obviously worked for decades. Now go
copy 1AW 5wpm sessions until you "get it".

Restricted neighborhood? Me too.

Extremely restricted, but I CHOSE to live there, and that is a choice, in
retrospect that I wish I hadn't made. In the long run it is actually a good
thing, as I am saving monthly around 100-120 dollars towards the down
payment on a house, as well as repaying some debts of which a hole that I am
in that I still can't see any light at the top from where I am at, but
I AM making progress, and that is the best way I can look at it. On a good
note, I have almost $5,000 saved in about 3 years for this whole downpayment
thing!
