Morse Classes for winter 2020 are going well.
.
25wpm beginners CW report for 17Nov20
The gang assembled again on GB3NB on Tuesday evening at 8pm and I was joined by David M0WEL, John G4PFZ, Alex 2E0FHF, Tony G0OOR and Paul M1AFQ.
The group listened to 6 typical overs from the archive and wrestled with the details like QTH, names and rigs etc. plus all the non-typical wordage that pads out the conversation. It takes a while to get the hang of this head copy malarkey and its a slow job, so count hearing the odd word as a win at 26wpm and please keep doing it. Over time you will hear without focussing and just pick out the essential ‘nuggets’ of the conversation.
Another session next week, so hopefully you’ll have been able to listen on the bands in the meantime to keep the ‘long game’ going.

Phil's class now has FIVE new students! How pleasing that is! It is still not too late to join Phil on a Friday evening. So, really good to see some are learning the code and gaining a new mode to use on the air.I hear there is another joining this week too! ALL GOOD!
