Those that use QLF or worse, LID are rude. If it isn't a friend poking fun then I ain't got time for that. Throw me your worse CW using a clothespin and some thumb tacks. I'll copy what I can and hopefully encourage you to improve. No paddles or keyer required.
That said, there's nothing sweeter than the classic rock sound of well sent straight key or bug CW. Electronic keyers are top 40 bubble gum. :) Kev / K4VD On Mon, Jun 27, 2016 at 5:02 PM, Barry LaZar <k3...@comcast.net> wrote: > I spent a lot of time this weekend copying CW operators who were superb > and a lot who barely know how to send.
