If you are interested in cw, here is a posting from the Straight Key Century Club. Since early January more than 1200 have signed up and more cw is being heard on many of the ham bands. Most operators are more than willing to send at any speed and conversations are encouraged.
There is an active e mail list as well as a forum. Check out: http://www.skccgroup.com/phpBB2/index.php http://groups.yahoo.com/group/skcc/ Have you ever wished that Straight Key Night would go on and on and on? Have you ever wished for other incentives to dig out your old straight key or old bug and knock the dust off? Ever wished they had a Straight Key Night more than once a year? That is a light you see at the end of the tunnel!! Recently, a group of hams have decided to make their wishes come true and founded the Straight Key Century Club - a/k/a "SKCC". Yep, a Straight Key club - where you can dust off your straight key or old bug, and get on the air and torture other ops with your straight key fist . Here's how it will work: A) Open to any interested amateur B) Membership is free, there are no dues and it shall stay that way as long as practical. C) SKCC numbers are issued for life. Once you get it, it's yours. Take care of it. Above all, USE it. The first day of each month, at 0000Z will be designated as a monthly operating event that allows SKCC members or non-SKCC members to work each other for credit. Contact with 100 SKCC members will qualify that person for a certificate of accomplishment. Suggested operating frequencies are: 1.820 3.720 7.120 10.120 14.048 18.080 21.120 24.910 28.170 50.090 144.07 For your SKCC number, send an email to KC9ECI, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Need a Digital mode QSO?
