91 years old, just got Tech license in Dec and General in February. Decided that CW was super interesting and am learning. Found your site today and, WOW, your excitement transfers and really reinforces my choice to learn CW. Thank you!!

It’s not just that you’re out there playing radio, it’s the fact that, as couple, you’re out there having fun together which is the important part! Thanks for the great vids, keep’’em coming. New Sub. 72

Becky, i love the short videos you make with short CW messages. They are right at my level to head copy.

Great to see the chemistry. A hobby becomes manifold if a close family member is also hooked on to it. If a couple are devoted to it then it is absolutely fantastic.

Been a Ham for several years now and learned CW when I first started, but learned "wrong" so I never got on the air with it. Really appreciate your guys videos on learning cw and learning letters as their own sound, rather than dits and daws. It's really helped me relearning and being faster. Hoping to get on the air soon here and make my first CW QSO's. 73's
