Hello fellow Elecrafters, I was able to finish building my KX1 with your your help! After spending much more time off the air than I planned I think I'm ready to give CW a try. For more months than I would care to admit I have been learning CW using lcwo, and my MFJ morse tutor. It took me a while to get through all 40 lessons and I'm still not that great, copying about 80% with a character rate of 13 wpm and an actual wpm of 5. I still have trouble with 'F' for what ever reason, maybe my 54yr old tin ears or rapidly advancing age or both.
I understand on 40m a good frequency to get a patient ear is 7114. Is there a similar frequency on 20m? So if you hear me out there I look forward to making my first CW contact. Thanx in advance for your patience. 73, Ed KE7HGA Forgot to mention I live close to Baltimore MD -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/My-First-steps-on-CW-tp5380378p5380378.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
