#hamradio After decades of procrastination, including avoiding even the idea of getting a ham license when Morse code was required, I just participated in the Long Island CW Club's first two introductory sessions and first "carousel" class in Morse code...Via Zoom...on my iPad...From a train....

@hamradiohef.bsky.social Been stuck at copying around 25-30 wpm in cw. I'm going to try Long Island cw club course. The thing is I think in sound so part way through a word I want to guess at the word and stop hearing. If I guess wrong I've miss a few letters and miss the whole word.

Going through LICW orientation today. For a generally member run organization, the Long Island CW club has their process down. Feels like I'm going through HR/IT orientation at a new job.

Real ones know

Of course my favorite social media is the original one, amateur radio.

Interestingly, this misunderstand in part led to the creation of the FCC. Early amateur radio operators were outperforming the US Navy, but also pretty undisciplined. Newspapers blamed the radio people, and the FCC was soon born. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...
