The first thing to do is put an email address on your QRZ page. I have a ZOOM session on Tuesday evenings at 8pm teaching CW to any BVARC member interested. Please contact me at 713-8189-0846 to discuss various aspects of learning CW, each of the various schools with their good and bad points.
Also useful tools to be able to send as well as use voice on ZOOM for classes with a windows computer(this is critical). There are two popular methods but the software method is quite complex if you are not computer savvy. Hope to hear from you! 73, Phil W2OZB CWOps 2020 SKCC 17177S BUG 202 QRQ-Friends BVARC "I only drop words that give the sentence any meaning."
