WELCOME!
In no particular order:
1) Not getting on the air. While it is a good idea to do some practice
off-air and get some basic skills down, you don't need to be an "expert" to
make
lots of CW contacts and have lots of fun.
2) Sending too fast for the situation.
3) Expecting too much too soon.
4) Trying to use a rig that's not very good for CW (doesn't apply to Elecraft
rigs!)
5) Not being familiar with abbreviations and procedures. Make a list of the
common ones and have it handy. Listen to a few QSOs and get the general idea of
how it's done.
6) Not asking questions or requesting help. (you've avoided this one!)
