[Elecraft] Good morse key?
Hello! I've been off this list for a good long while...quick question. Any picks for a good starting morse key? I've played around with the paddles and maybe want to start with a straight key... (update: back from my adventure, finished my Elecraft 'cept for DSP and battery bits, no license yet, gonna get that back home when I move there shortly) Anyway, I was also wondering if anyone has any master schemes for connecting a key to a computer for practice, and maybe some software that works in conjunction with a key...

(I will send my location in a separate emailOPSEC after all) I've been working the problem, and my plan is to go to the base nearby and see if I can scrounge up any MARS operators. I know of one, but he's just a Technician Plus. On the plus side, I'll be back in the states sometime in March...ish, maybe, so I can always study, build and study, then test and start operating!

No offense intended, honest! I'm a computing scientist by formal training, among other things. The Geek Code is a piece of Internet history, along with Kibo and other such delights from 1995 and earlier. Been surfing since I was 10! The original Elecraft K1's and K2's were CW only radios...SSB capability came later as an add-on (it is still an add-on) so the Elecraft reflector was originally devoted to CW only and has a high number of CW enthusiasts...The monthly list of up-coming CW contests should make you aware of that...There has been an effort of late to eliminate CW and that makes a lot of folks nervous and they react badly...It makes your remark unwelcome to some unforgiving folks and they never forget...Unfortunately, not all hams are nice guys... Some of these guys have been running CW for 50 years or more, I myself have been doing it for 45 years...We don't want to see CW taken away...There is room for all of us and we would do well to avoid generating controversy in the interest of presenting a unified front to regulators like the FCC and ITU... If SSB or any other mode is your preference, embrace it and use it, but avoid shooting arrows at others...We need all the hams we can get, so stay with us, get your ticket, join in the question and answer sessions, and contribute to the advancement of the reflector and ham radio...Good luck, have fun building (I know you will) and 73...All is forgiven...;^) Naw, Morse is cool!

Wow! I can see I made a wise choise in Ham, with so many friendly people responding! I've got an avalanche of email to get through to thank you all for your advice...I hope I don't forget any. If I do, sorry! TOO MUCH EMAIL! At least it's not spam. I think I will probably build a K1 after the K2, because I'm really digging this Morse thing. I sat down with a Morse training program and learned 4 letters this afternoon at 15WPM, so I'm feeling cocky and stuff. That, and kits are fun. Anyway, gotta get back to work. Thanks again!
