So you've learn Morse Code (CW)! Now What?

  So you've learn Morse Code (CW) The graphic above depicts of what I think some look like after they decide to place their fingers on the straight key, paddle, cootie, or bug and send their first Morse Code characters.  The cold weather of winter has taken its grip on most of the northern hemisphere and there's  "No better time than the present" than to fire up that rig and quall your Morse Code fears and get "ON THE AIR". Parks on the Air (POTA) and Summits on the Air (SOTA) have proven to be incredible instruments in bringing more and new Morse Code operators into the fold. However, "OLD MAN WINTER" has put a "FREEZE" on the number of Morse Code activators. Maybe you have become accustomed to the predictable format of POTA  and SOTA QSOs.  Don't fret.  There is another organization which lends to the same short predictable format to fill the void of the shortage of POTA/SOTA Morse Code activators this winter. http://www.k1usn.com/ ...
