Well said! Geri, DK8KW (W1KW) P.S. I learned CW when I was 14 and I can say that I am a profound CW operator. Since I have started on LF, I have tried to expand my transmitting capabilities continuously, my first QSOs were in QRSS then CW, followed by BPSK, RTTY, PSK31 and, together with DF6NM I developed Slow-Voice. I love the experiment as well as the challenge, I have seen VE1ZZ and I am working to see VA3LK. To relax I like to have a normal CW QSO from time to time .... either armchair copywith 25 WPM or just below the gras-roots at 5 WPM, and I think all has it's place on LF!
