QST QST QST -Learn Morse Code/CW free Class each Saturday 3-5 PM

[Terry McCarty]

Start - QST QST QST

Woodbridge Amateur Radio Club will start a free Morse Code/CW Class at 
3:00 PM this Saturday, 30 April 2016.

No prior knowledge or experience with Morse Code is required.  All are 
welcome.

We should plan on meeting every Saturday afternoon to practice and gain 
experience.  Duration of the weekly meetings and the number of weeks we 
will meet will be determined by those who attend.

Bring your CW key or keyer if you have one.  If you don't have one, 
there will most likely be extra keys for you to practice sending with.  
As might be expected, sending Morse code is usually not nearly the 
challenge as is the case of listening to Morse code and writing it down 
or understanding it "in your head" - i.e. emphasis will be placed on 
learning to copy CW vs send CW. 

If you have code practice material (a computer program or magnetic tapes 
or CDs) that you have used in the past, please bring them to the class 
so all of us can have the benefit of your past efforts.

The thrust of our initial meeting will be primarily aimed at assessing 
where everyone is "coming from" and "where you want to go" on your 
journey toward learning Morse code.

And ... If you are interested in teaching Morse Code along with me, 
please come prepared to volunteer to help.
