Great QSO last night. I had a great time chatting with you. Cool website too. Glad to see you have been promoting CW for so long. I'm new to CW but old to ham radio having been a licensed ham for thirty years. I had an increasing desire to work the HF bands and particularly CW since early 2006. I'd confined my ham activities to VHF/UHF phone previously but after relinquishing of some business interests left me with leisure time to pursue interest I'd postponed, I finally had enough time to comfortably explore this aspect of ham radio. I thoroughly enjoy CW since I made my CW debut on the HF bands in July 2006. It was surprisingly easy for me to become comfortable with Morse code again even though my last real experience with CW was testing for Advanced/Extra Class nearly thirty years ago. CW opened up a whole new world of ham radio to me. I'm convinced that for some of us hams there is a longing to experience amateur radio in its most basic and fundamental form. It is certainly a different experience from phone. Now, I enjoy both! 73s Tim WD4GXD
