I'm going to be near AES Milwaukee tomarrow... so I'll stop in and get da books. I already have code tapes and code software.... I've been trying to learn code for a while, I just have a brick for a brain for learning it and on top of that, something always comes up to distract me from daily practice - I can never get a set schedual for free time a few weeks to learn it... something always comes up to change everything and screw me up.
The dropping of the code requirement shouldn't be the end of the code for the people who were trying to learn. I say - keep going. Its a challenge almost like learning a new language. I'll still continue to try and ONE OF THESE DAYS ... I'll make my first cw contact. I just gotta get a few QSLs on my wall for CW comms to add to the FM DX, SSB and even AM work I've done.
